Hello,

My IS side skirts are rotten and there isn't much left of the clips, i've struggled to find any sort of similar resemblance online.

Anyone know where I can get some? Or do BMW still stock them and if so where may I find the part no.?

cheers lads

I guess you want item 12, but someone with more knowledge of side skirts will probably be able to help you.

Should be able to order from BMW though.

No 9 I think if it's the ones that pinch the seam on the underside of the sill

Those are definitely the clips for SE skirts, so if that's what the iS uses then those clips will be fine.

They're the ones i need! But it also has little grommits that sit in 4 holes, and then a push fit plug is pushed into it, ideally i'd like to replace them aswell as those pinching ones.

Any idea which number they are because the drawing doesn't seem to match them up very well.

I know the ones you mean but not sure which they are from the diagram.

The wiki has this pdf which should have part no's: http://www.e30zone.net/e30zonewiki/imag ... Seiten.pdf

You be as well of ordering everything listed in the realoem link, you could prob do with replacing the lot if the clips and push in things are worn.

I bought a complete set of clips from bmw in maidstone a couple of years back , price was about £25 and had to order them iirc. But obviously may have gone up slightly in price .

Yeah BMW defo, I ordered some through the BMW Parts section on here, you needs the clips in the pic above, something like 12 total or 10 5/6 each side, then you need those green grommet clips which are cheap as well

When I ordered them they cost me about £20ish, delivered to your floor mat too.
