NLA clips to hold the side skirts on an M-tech 2 convertible. I only need a couple to try to fab up some. The vert or cabrio ones are at a 90 degree angle whereas all of the still available coupe / sedan ones are at a wider angle.

Man, I finally sourced a full OEM kit, then every clip etc EXCEPT THESE! And I have looked EVERYWHERE. I even ordered a mounting set off German Ebay and asked the guy ahead of time to verify the ones in his pictures were correct and I still got the coupe / sedan angled ones - which he refunded me for.
I have the coupe ones, I may have to get creative with a dremel and those. But my neighbor has a little home CNC set up, I was thinking if I could just get a hold of one I could maybe get him to run some.Thank god, R3V was getting boring since the ginger kid wrecked his car. - StoneaComment

Also, if you want a laugh, the only other guy selling these:
$23,507.00. I messaged him to say, "Hey this can't be right?" and he just said something about the exchange rate. I am guessing he didn't want to sell to the US anyway.Thank god, R3V was getting boring since the ginger kid wrecked his car. - StoneaComment

You might have someone with a 3D printer replicate a few for you. Just a thought. I will be in a similar boat when I'm reassembling my car in a few months.'72 2002 pickup | '88 M5 | '89 330is | '89 M3 | '01 Z3M | '11 328xi-t

LOL, wow that guys on crack if that's seriously his asking price/ not a mistake. I think the sad part of all this is they weren't NLA only 3 months back, and I could have ordered them then.. Best of luck to both of us I suppose!

I really wanted an original as I’m not sure what height to drill etc.Thank god, R3V was getting boring since the ginger kid wrecked his car. - StoneaComment

I was thinking if he could Cnc out of plastic block it would be stronger than the 3D printing but I’m new to that so I’m not sure the best way to go.Thank god, R3V was getting boring since the ginger kid wrecked his car. - StoneaComment

I've been doing a ton of research and wanted to post a few pics of the differences between coupe and convertible clips, I found a picture on google of someone comparing the two. From the looks, I want to say you could modify the coupe clips since the only difference appears to be the angles. You could maybe modify them with a heat gun and bend the plastic carefully, or cut them off and epoxy them at the correct angle needed. I was going to order them at work literally tomorrow and attempt to modify the coupe clips until I got a PM.
With all the said, Mwishlist magically found a seller online selling the NLA clips. Unfortunately that sellers now sold out. Best of luck to everyone in the future, hopefully BMW will eventually start making them again.
