Another part query

WillLowe · 04-23-2022, 01:05 PM

Anyone know where I can get some of the metal clips that hold the mesh in on the m performance rear diffuser. I've removed my diffuser today and noticed most of the clips are missing and the ones left are badly corroded.

Take a look here. This is a quick schematic that defaults to my vehicle (F31). However, you should be able extract what you are looking for - #14?

Thanks for the reply though that's not the part. I've searched through realoem but couldn't find the bit I need. The m performance accessories section just shows the rear diffuser as a single part. Maybe the genuine ones are different.

I'd like some too. I could also do with some spare mesh as one of mine has gone out of shape.

I've failed to find any so I'm just going to drill small holes through the plastic parts the mesh slots onto and use steel wire to hold it in place.

Do you have a photo of the part you require?

Only photo I can find online its the little retainers at the bottom of this photo that keep the mesh in place

No photo of the actual part on yours?

If you pop down to the dealers , they can usually help locate and ID the part.

I'm not entirely sure the oem part had the clips I'm after or not. Judging by Realoem it looks like they didn't

Hi. Are they 'sprung clips'? If so, take some dimensions and look them up online, or take one to your local fixings supplier who will match them and supply in stainless.
