    Part # for clips in Euro bumpers for rubber strip?

    Hi guys. I have previously replaced my front center Euro bumper section and plan to do the same with the rear. However, when replacing the front, we had to re-use all of the clips that hold the rubber strip to the bumper as I could not locate the part number for them. See below image:

    Can anyone tell me if a part number exists? They do not appear on the diagram but I have to believe these clips exist somewhere - I really don't want to have to re-use all of the ones from the rear as many of them on the front bumper were brittle and it was a major PIA.

    Thanks for any tips. I've circled in general where the clips mount to keep the rubber strip snug against the bumper.

    I believe it's 51111826894, part #7 in your diagram

    CGI is correct, that will be the same part number for the front as well. Your local dealer can source them for about $2/piece; Shows to still have eight in the states and thousands in Germany

    If I remember correctly, its ten for the front and twelve clips for the rear

    K20R - I'd imagine the part # was retrieved from realoem.com, great tool - bookmark it after clicking into your car..

    Hey guys. Thanks. Yes, I use it regularly but I had held the part in my hand before I saw the diagram and the diagram didn't match what I felt the part looked like! So basically I've stared at the RealOEM diagram 100 times but never connected that those were the fasteners.

    Thanks again.

    sure..

    also do you know to use a cotter-pin-removal tool to install the clips? (pull them through from the inside until they click, rather than hitting the bumper strip with something)
