Trim Clips
Hi All
Can anyone point me towards where to get some clips for trim work?
On giving the a little wash, the chrome trim at the bottom of the rear door looked lose.
Upon a little tease it came away in my hand to reveal it was only being held in by 2 of the 5 clips there appeared to be holes for.
Checking with Duckworth this morning I can't buy the clips - I have to buy the new trim at £72.14 .
I just need 3 plastic clips....

Measure them and trawl through ebay. I seem to remember finding a website that specialised in trim clips which I stumbled across while googling. Cant remember the name of it though...

Thanks Swansty
I'll give it a go as it just doesn't make sense to pay for a complete new trim

Thanks for the suggestion al cope.
They look like they "might" do the trick, but I can't be certain without trying them as they're not the same.

Swansty you are a Superstar for trying but they're not the same .
I had quite an online hunt last night and ended up sending the above pics to a local bodyshop to see if they've got any in their spare clips bin.
I fear it may end up being one clip on each end and some good old bonding silicon dabbed in the middle.
This is hugely frustrating though

I feel your pain - as had the same issue with some trim clips for my daughters Clio. Renault only sell the panel with the clips. I ended up trawling round local body shops and other dealers/factors over the course of about 3 weeks, before finding that some BMW clips were the same and only 13p each.
