You think there was a market for 3d printing these...

Sold! Winning bid:
£336.00

I had to laugh when I read "grab yourself a bargain" in the description.
As always, they are worth whatever the market will pay on the day, so well done the seller

I think they look great. I honestly thought the first Z4 Roadster I looked at must have been missing some trim pieces when I was faced by the ugly exposed roof mechanism with the roof down. It looks like BMW forgot to finish the job. These side covers make it look like it should look, in my opinion, and if £300 was a throwaway sum to me, I'd be buying a pair right away

I admit I put a bid In for £259, only to see if anyone in here can replicate a 3D print of them.... then sell them on.

Surely someone has a set on here that they can lend to the 3D printers on here to bang a few sets out???

Believe a few people have looked into 3D printing these. I know naff all about 3D printing (yet!) but I believe the size means you'd need to split into multiple smaller prints unless using a large commercial printer, the rigidity is possibly an issue especially as I imagine these are frequently left in place by accident when closing the roof, and the latching mechanism adds complexity.

Not insurmountable, but problematic. I am going to look into getting copies of my internal hard top lock covers done, but even if running off a batch the price won't be especially cheap based on ballpark estimates.

That’s terrible that you would stoop down to that level....
Err... I did put in quite a few bids before backing off too

P.S... looking at a hardly used set on Ebay.de. Took some serious searching let me tell you. Will let you know if I get it

Yep...

£336!! LOL! You done alright there

I'll have to keep my eye out for a set of these to stick on ebay. Wouldn't put them on the car, prefer the look of the gap. I can't believe someone would pay that much for a couple of bits of plastic. Mind boggling
