    WTB 'i' lip, NJ/PA

    After losing TWO of these in a fortnight, does anyone have one? Or maybe TWO, just so that I can have a spare? I want the little black 'i' lip, not the 'iS' big lip - those last less than 48 hours...

            Part 51711945559 runs $187 list, $149 (!!!) at getbmwparts, I'm looking at Fap99 now. Unfortunately, the prices for new parts from BMW SKYROCKETED now that the E30 is in the archive section.
            I lose these because as dannyg said, the clips are old and they don't hold the lip securely enough. One was lost to snow before Christmas, the other one was BORROWED in centre city.
            So now I need one for the 325 and one for the 318, whenever it's back on its wheels.
            Edit: WTF, at fap99 they're $53? I have to assume these are not OE?

              They are non-oe but fit fine, and you cannot beat them for the price. Just make sure that you buy new clips for it (10-12 of them) - that is why you keep losing yours.

                  if you keep loosing them, maybe it's better not to run one? :) are you plowing snow with an e30?
