Front bumper clips

[R17SKO]

Afternoon all,
My front bumper gap to wing is a little out, I am assuming it’s the clips, has anyone got the BMW part number?

If the bumper is sticking out a little then sometimes it has simply popped out of the clips.
Have you tried giving it a thump?

I’ll give that a go, I’m going to take it off to sort the fog lamps so will take a better look then.

For what it's worth the front fogs can be removed easily without bumper removal

If it’s for the LHS part no is 7165179 as I’ve just ordered one. Look on realOEM if it’s the other side

If it’s the same thing I got quoted for, £27 from BMW

Really, how do you do it?

Remove front wheels or turn on full lock, open bottom wheel arch hatch, inside you will see the back of the fog lights and they have just 2 fixings holding them in place, Philips screws and looking to the front of the car on the exterior your find the 3rd fixing, unplug the bulb holders and draw the fog out of the hatch. If you search the forum your find better explanation than mine. It's easy.

Thanks, your welcome
For what it's worth, I actually split mine in two, cleaned off the corrosion, repainted with chrome , machine polished the clear lenses to remove stone chips and dirt, resealed back together and then refitted with a decent set of bulbs. Whilst they aren't perfect, they do look respectable and work well. ( stuck some 100w white light bulbs in )
