Hi guys,

Does anybody know where I can get the back plates/dust shields for behind the behind the discs on an E30? So far I've only been able to get them at the dealer and they want £124 for all 4 corners :/

The full set of 4 have only recently been available at the dealers again, you wont be able to buy them from anywhere else

Ah bugger. Going to be expensive then. There's nothing wrong with mine other than surface rust, but with new brakes and suspension on the way I don't want them time let the side down looking tatty

If they really are only suffering surface rust try getting them powdercoated.

Check whether the dealers can actually get them - I waited over 12 months for a front one - I do have a pair of brand new front ones which I bought but never used that I could be persuaded to part with if the price is right winkeye

They definitely have them, in stock at bmw, in within 24 hours.

They're £35 each for the front ones at the dealers, so if yours are an attractive price with the delivery, I can be tempted to part with some cash, even though I have just skinned myself with it
