From the picture below you can see the difference in size..This vendor is giving me the typical runaround..
I filed a return request with ebay...but he is not budging..
Does anyone have a source for the correct ones..if not i will have mine re plated..I had the air filter housing powder painted inRAL-7022 and it looks like new.

Those aren’t the original clips. I have a new set of those that I can sell for the price of the ones you just bought. Mine fit though.

That part number is CSi

 

[Markos]

Sorry I don't have any. I thought you needed CSI clips.

 

[bimoverde]

plating is easy and cheap if you have enough to cover the minimum charge which is around $50, No affiliation to this place but they have worked for me, precision metal finishing grand junction, one batch didn't look good but they happily redid them

I pay about 120.00 per batch here in Cali.
Do a google search for local plating companies in your neighborhood?

Looks like the correct part is 13711259495. Put that or 13 71 1 259 495 into google and you’ll get numerous available sources between $5 & $7.

I’m too embarrassed to identify all the incorrect parts I’ve purchased, starting with a CSi fuel filter for my CS through recent purchase of 14-gear “e28 rear” window motors. Sometimes I return but if it’s my fault I eat it & will sell or
share if anyone has a need. Hopefully my collection will not continue to grow. I think that seller has been referenced positively on the forum, so it sounds like a miscommunication.

I purchased items from that guy on Ebay maybe 5-6 ago and he never shipped. A ton of emails, lame excuses and finally either Ebay or Paypal sided with me and he refunded my money.
