How do you change the left locari?

Masheen · 02-24-2006, 05:41 AM

Hello,

Had my car transported to my home, and it was damaged under the left fog ligt on the underside of the front spoiler ( plastic locari ). Tje locari is the plastic cover under the car and moving up to the fender.

Anyone now how to change / loosen the locari ? Have bought a new one from BMW, but haven't installed it yet..

Is this a common knowledge technical term--locari? Never heard that before.

Well, I don't know. Thats what my dealer said the name of this thing was.

It's actually the inner plastic fender that goes all the way to the underside of the fog lights.

Actually I think it is a Finnish word. We have this manufacturer: http://www.lokari.fi/?s=yhteys&l=eng Who makes the wheel housing covers (if this is what Masheen meant) for lots of different cars. So it is the brand name Lokari which is commonly used as a name of these parts. I didn't know that they use this term in Norway as well.

So it probably means "interior mudguard"

Yes, it is the wheel housing covers!! Anyone know how to change these one? Pics perhaps...?

You might want to check the DIY section under installation of factory alarm. I believe that part needs to be removed for that installation.

I will do that, thank you!

It does not look too complicated: http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...96&hg=41&fg=10

Haven't thought of the oem. Thanks, flyingfinn

Take 8mm screwdriver and unscrew screws that you see inside the housing. It would be very helpful if you take off the wheel.
