Hi all getting my 318is back on the road after a long lie up. It needs the drivers side rear pocket replaced, I can’t seem to find any aftermarket items can anyone shed any light on this for me? Or is it dealer only?
Thanks

I bought the repair panel from the dealers about 2 years ago and it was about £80.

A decent restorer can fabricate that.

Agreed. A decent fabricator will take at least half a day to make a basic copy, a false economy in my book.

There’s a guy on the E30zone Facebook site is selling aftermarket ones, worth a look.

Thanks all
I was thinking of fabricating it myself but tine versus getter an aftermarket part it didn’t seem worth it
