Fixed! Chrome window trim

[emiffy]

Last week, some SOB tried to remove the chrome trim around the side window (the one that goes from the driver's side all the way to the rear passenger side). He botched up the removal (the doors were locked!) so ended up breaking 4 of the clips, as well as the chrome trim itself.

*sigh*

And this was in a basement car park at a "high-end" hotel.

Anyway, thanks to our friends across the causeway I managed to get a 2nd-hand E46 chrome trim (RM50! only!). Went down to PML to get the clips (S$2.80 each!!!), some google-ing on e46 fanatics, and yipeee...

I fixed it!!!

Ya, I know it's a lame fix , but, hey, I'm feeling really happy right now...

so if anyone wants to know the part number for the clip, it's 51 13 82 04 858
the shiny black trims (like on the last batch of E46 sports edition) is
51 13 26 95 281
51 13 26 95 282

Think I'll go wash car now.

Thanks for the post emiffy.

I am sure someone someday will find this post useful!

Maybe some pictures of where the clips go or where to even start taking out the trim?

Re: Fixed! Chrome window trim

am I reading this correctly - someone actually tried to steal your chrome trims? Were you here in Sg or across the causeway? can't believe what people will do.

thanks for the useful post - how much did you pay for the shiny black trims BTW? Thinking of getting them when I change my chrome trims to black ones.

cheers
