Then you might wish to have a word with "Cotswold BMW" on this forum. Jon on there can sort you out with most things mate.

Thanks very much. Will speak to Jon.
I tried realoem bit it wouldn't list any numbers in the front bumper section for my car.

Take the one off on the left hand side and see if there is a part number stamped on to it.

Found one you need the securing strap as well, check the part numbers with Cotswolds as they may be able to supply the parts.

Surely it's not a tow hook cover??? :eek:

I bought a pair for mine, no securing bits, just clips in.

The securing strap is just a skinny cable-tie.

I don't think even BMW bother putting a part number on a cable tie.
