Contractor backed into my coupe while it was parked in my garage under car cover. Put i.5 in. dent directly in front cross piece at hood level. Miraculously, he is still alive. Looking for new trim piece, or, VERY nice used, straight one. Beleive me, there are NO new ones available at usual vendors in USA, Europe, or BMW proper - including Mobile Traditions.
Taking my coupe to auto body this week, so please let me know a.s.a.p., if you can help.

Thanks.

Check ebay and Los Angeles Craigslist, I think I saw a guy selling trim pieces in Glendale, CA


EDIT:
This guy, send him a msg asking if he still has it, I know link is for rain trim pieces but I saw his post on CL for the front piece

The guy in Glendale was almost giving everything away for free. He had a pair of mint condition tail lights for only $125. I contacted him a couple of days ago and he said he had pretty much sold everything.

The guy in Glendale sold his taillights and set of belt moldings. Ask how I know...

The guy in Glendale (Eddie)sold his taillights and set of belt moldings. That guy from Malibu bought almost all of his parts...:roll:


BTW...
Verde2002 "The guy in Glendale was almost giving everything away for free"

Before I left I handed over $400 in cash for a few small parts... That does not sound like for free to me?

To me $125 for a set of mint condition tail lights is as close to free as it gets. he also had one complete door weather strip rubber set he was asking $50 for, again a bargain. Maybe he sensed your excitement, got greedy and sold you items at a much higher price.

Verde2002, The tail lights are NOT mint or new they are nice...

Verde2002,

No offense but the tail lights are very nice but not new or perfect...

And the door rubbers are not complete... In fact they do not look anything like the rubber on my E9 doors... I am not even sure they are for an E9...

To be fair to all and being they are such a "bargain" and so you dont think you missed out on a great deal. I will sell the door rubbers to you for the same $50+shipping. Sold "AS IS" with no returns.

Please Paypal me at [email protected]
