Hi mafia members. Maybe somebody can help me out here in regards to the wheel liners on the zhp sedan.

I am replacing the drives side lower wheel liner since mine was torn up as well as the bracket that holds it to the body. However there is another piece that is missing that is attached to the front bumper. I removed the part from the right side and was able to see the part number 51117893128 on the piece. However I am not able to locate in anywhere including Real OEM.

Provide below are the images of the part. First picture is how it is installed on the car and the second image to show the part number on it.

Only thing that I was able to find was another individual asking the same question in the thread below.
http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthread.php?t=839759

However the image that was linked in that thread is no longer the one on real oem.com

Any help would be great.

Thanks :)

I searched for a while but can't find a thing about it. Is it part of the bumper or the wheel liner?

I would call bavauto with that number.

That's part of the underside of the bumper.

That is correct. This piece is on the inside of the front bumper and the lower front wheel liner bolts to it.

I hope it is not sold as part of the front bumper which I fear it might.

yeah it's part of the bumper. and you can't buy it separately either.

If that is true, then that's a bit silly.

And then why list a part number on it ?

That piece broke off my bumper on one side. I tried gluing it back on with hot melt glue but it didn't stick. I fixed it with 4 small wood or drywall screws. Drilled small pilot holes through bottom part of bumper and into that part, then installed screws. Looks silly if you look at bottom of bumper to see these 4 silver screw heads, but nobody looks there. Otherwise I think you must either do without or buy a new bumper cover.

Quick fix = buy splitters.

That would not be an issue but I am missing that piece completely.
