Side Panel Support : Front Bumper

[Street]

I'm after a Left Side Panel Support for the Front Bumper who doesn't want to take my eyes out.
£43 on eBay from a UK seller kills me.

Passenger / near side. Part number: 51117165179

Thanks Stuart,
I’m hearing these might be throw away which could explain why they are plastic gold. The tabs that clip into the front wing seem very rigid

I think I bought one direct from soper and I’m sure it was about £35

Sorry to get your hopes up- all I have in the parts bin are rear plastics

No probs, thanks for looking.
I’ve just phoned BMW and it’s £26. That’s more like it!

That’s a better price!

What dealer did you ring mate?

I was looking for one of these ages ago and was quoted 97 quid for it from my bmw dealer!
Never managed to get one for a decent price in the end...

Vertu Sunderland. Panicking I’ve been quoted the wrong bit now and I’ll end up with a bolt or something

I need the offside one.....£38 is the cheapest on Ebay which is ridiculous for a small bit of plastic!

I bought a pair of these a few years ago for £26 each and have them tucked away for a rainy day or a respray in anticipation of them being either as easy to get as rocking horse s**t, or the price of a small island nation…

^^ great shout
It’ll be like the steering wheel trim which more than doubled over night while I was on the hunt for a set. The spray can came out instead when that happened.

I have a freshly refurbed (though about 4yrs old) set of them sitting in the garage too :lol:

The other things I wanted to have in the loft were the foam inserts for the seat base and seat back… but I had a look this morning and the back is about €250 and the base is…. €450 . Only appear available in Europe and the US as well
