Help with part number: deflector flaps under non-m front bumper

[slocar]

Those flaps on either side in front of the wheels, on the underside of the bumper. I'm looking for either the part number or their actual name.

Here's what I'm talking about: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/6d/BMW_E36_318is_Coupe_c.jpg

I've been searching for the past 30 minutes with no luck. Help.

haha it's hilarious that I just found it and was about to post back ... bavauto has them for 8 bucks a piece in case anyone is wondering.

Thanks anyway though. :)

what do they do

That I wondered as well. I always assumed it's something to do with aerodynamics: to keep airflow from directly hitting the tire surface ... although I don't really know how much (if anything) that would do. :dunno
