Question about Strut Tower Caps

[downeaster1]

Could somebody give me the part number off one of their strut tower caps? Mine are in need of disrepair. Love you long time? :D


Cheers!

I have mine that came off the car...perfect condition and I'll sell them to you real cheap

PN 31312227387. I have a pair for sale, $15 shipped. You want them? Perfect condition. The only reason I am selling is because they don't fit with my Mason strut bar in place.

Why cant you run a strut bar with them? You guys didnt install yours underneath the strut tower or something? I don't understand.

these are the little plastic covers that sit on top of the tower, covering the nuts and the opening for the strut mounts.

+1 you take the caps off to reveal the nuts, which is where the strut bar goes.

I thought I'd seen a picture of someone with the Dinan front bar and the caps still fit over it. With the Mason bar there was no way in hell it was going to fit.

Do these things fit on sedans?

i would think so. or are the sedan and coupe strut towers different in any way?

It wasn't a picture of my car, but I used 750i strut covers. Just cut down the outside edge, so they fit inside the opening. I even drilled a hole to allow adjustment of the Konis :)

Not too sure. I've never owned a real M3

pics? what type of strut bar do you have?

[///w3fl3x]

Don't know the brand. It was on the car when i bought it a few years ago. It's probably an ebay bar.
The caps are on there pretty snug.

Never bothered to take it off since i added the xbrace.
