I am re-fitting the wheel arch liners on my 1990 325i sport and I think i am missing one part, I have the top liner and the front liner, but I think there should be one behind the wheel which is attached to the front liner.

Anyone have any pictures? or part numbers

I recently spent an enjoyable 20 mins putting a wheel arch liner back into a Citroen Xsara. Bloody hell, they're badly built!! The liner was held on with three rubbish serrated plastic pins, explaining why it had fallen off. I said that to the girl whose car it was and she replied, 'that's nothing, the door fell off my last one once!' 8O :mad:

Thanks for your help, I found the part on one of your pictures, the one with the euro car parts bag over the front wheel, its the square plastic trim just in front of the steering rod.
Still cant find the part number on bmwfans, anyone know the part number.

So now we understand why you were helping.

2 IMPORTANT QUESTIONS - 1 - was she fit?
2, did you get a date/kiss/other out of it (keep details to yourself) after all its a family forum!
