Which body kit is this?

I hope Corpse doesn’t mind me using his picture!

I have the same kit (lip spoiler and skirts) on my moor door, but I want to take it off to WxOyl behind it. The problem I see is with 20 year old plastic clips I expect I'll need to fit new clips but I am after the part number.

I was going to use RealOEM to get the correct part numbers, but I'm having difficulty identifying the correct body kit! The top one is the one fitted to the sport, but the other just don't look right!

As ata said above, front lip clips are 75p each new from BMW, i think you need about 6 or 8.

the front valance needs 8 clips iirc, i just treated mine to new ones after the respray - 65p each from my local dealer, and you have the option of black or white for them!

PM me for the part number if you need it, i still have the bag they came in in my garage.

Thanks all - The price sounds reasonable when you consider how much to repalce the skirts and lip if they fell off!

Clarkyboy, I have dropped you a PM ref the lip fixings - :D

Does any one know the part number(s) for the skirt fixings? I think they are a mixture of clips and a couple of short screws and the short bit between the front of the front door and the rear of the front arch. It also appears that each bit of trim over-laps the next bit

righto, see below link for the skirt clips etc.. i think what you need is part 11, now, i got some of these from the local dealer 2 weeks ago for something else that uses them, i think they were 15p each!

the part number for the splitter clips are below, in black or white - i went for white as that the colour of my car!
