Hi all was at donny at the weekend, great show, I noticed on some of the cars (e30's) there was a rubber strip/trim that runs along the top of the front wing on each side, the purpose of the trim is to stop water running down the top of the wing and dribbling on to the head lamp HENSE, keeping water out from under the bonnet

I asked one of the owners and he said he got it from BMW i really want a set of these rubbers as i think its a lovely touch, does anyone know the part number as the guys in bmw would not have a clue if i tried to explain any help appreciated

I thought you meant the sealing strips that were fitted to the Sport Evo.

They sit in the gap between the bonnet and wing, purpose is to help aerodynamics, but they certainly ain't Ԛ£3! They are just over Ԛ£30 for both sides.

Are these the ones you mean?
