Body Nuts / U-Clips

[goosiegander]

Hey guys!

The factory body nuts that we bolt the front valence into along with wing tops and bottoms are stupidly expensive from dear old BMW despite being a current use part...

That being said I have ordered a load for bolting the M3 back together,

Obviously I was thrilled with BMW when told that these are on back order in Germany... FFS!

Anyway, do we know of any online parts suppliers that can sell me the appropriate U-Clips/Body nuts so I can get the M3 back together in order to get it home?

Links/Advice appreciated...

May not be absolutely identical to the originals, (and neither might any you buy from BMW) but these are the ones I use to replace almost every one that I've undone.

I used the clips Brian linked for my arch liners but had to trim the edge down on one side for the tops of the wings, but there as good as your going to get.

I've been using those clips Brian linked as well for putting mine back together.
