Appeal to all forum members...

Would you have any of the above plastic rivets (that attach the wheel arches to the car) lying around, that you'd be willing to let me have?

I got some off eBay which turned out to be incorrect.

I need at least one myself, couple of different part numbers from the OEM file site though :/

Its either 07149140786 or 51777171004 where did you get yours from?

this is what i used, fits but not the same as oem.

Gonna try to clear things up a little.

This is what I thought I bought and need.



But this is actually what I got through the post - the measurements are correct for what I received (see listing below). You can see the product received does not match the picture advertised. Guy is happy to take these back.



Here'sthe link to the listing.

Looking at the links you posted Jalf, they don't seem to look the same? RealOEM has some drawings of the second part number you've posted but it looks different from what I need.

I'd like the OEM one's but was quoted silly money - will touch base with Parts Dept again, tomorrow. Raj is also trying to help me out here.

Jay - what you have will allow someone to get to your arches by just pulling that centre piece out. I want the one's that are not easy to remove and OEM really. Appreciate the link all the same buddy.

Hi Sanj

How many do you need I will have a look in the garage tomorrow evening, cant promise but think I have some.

Cheers

Steve

Hey Steve,

Need 26 lol! But 4 will be enough to get the arches on and in place at least! I want the new paintwork to be protected asap. Stupid eBay!  >:(

After trying to fit them this morning, gonna get these ordered as soon as kind donations have been exhausted.

Thanks for even looking mate! 

Spending the 30p on new ones too heavy on the budget ?

When you've spent as much as me on paintwork and a trip to see big ears, you'll understand, garage boy!

30p times 26 is too much for an Indian btw! Hoping my TRUE forum members will come to my aid. Unlike you 

Can't you nick them from Jig? He would never notice anyway  )

i was goimg to say when i had mine painted i bought a set of every one needed for evert arch for pence from the stealer £0.30x 26, £7.80 and i thaught i was tight!!

Not to mention that a pint in the civilised part of the country (i.e. not in Sanje-town) is about £8, so he is worse off  )

Shad, can you double-check that for me bud? They the same as my first pic? And have you got the dealer/part number so I can get the same deal?

I'm being quoted £6.72 for 6. Hence the 'go-fcuk-yourself' attitude and the post.
