Boot side panel covers - Clip for

Post by Mike P »

I've managed to get my hands on a pair of the boot side panel cubby hole door cover things.

But of the 6 mounting clips that I need for them, I've only got 5 of them.

Does anybody have one :?:

IIRC somebody on here did have parts of one of these things :?:

Or shall I go and look for the striped paint instead :lol:

Unless somebody has got access to a rapid prototype machine and fancies making me one as a project :D

There are a huge number of Chinese companies that will run something off from a 3D printer if you send them the CAD, so it's always an option.

What do these clips look like? I'm not sure i've ever seen one.

These are what the clips look like.

I've not tried fitting these to the car yet and I've never seen anyone elses to compare against, so I am assuming that these are the correct clips:

These are the correct clips, they push down onto the side trim and click into place.

Found them OK but as the cubbyholes were used to store the mandatory BX set of rescue tools and spanners they soon came loose.....
