wheel well damaged?

[bnighten]

I drive a 318I. Recently, the front passenger side fog lamp was hit with some road debris and was damaged. I have ordered a new fog lamp for the car, but I also noticed that the plastic black lining in the wheel well was damaged from the impact and has a fist sized hole punched in it.

I am trying to locate the plastic liner to replace the damaged liner, but I am not having any luck. Does anyone know where I can find that part? And is the name of the part wheel well liner? Or does it go by another name.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Brad

best option would be BMW recycling out of Cali... decent company, but be careful what they quote you. they will try to shaft you

Thanks! Do you think I am using the right name for the part? Wheel well lining?

yeah, that should be about the name, different places call it different things, but they should get the idea. have you tried BMW recycling out in cali? they actually have one of the best selections i have found for used parts. happy hunting

I found their information on the web and hope to call them later this week. By the way, I think that part is called a fender splash guard. Thanks again.

You might have to get a new sensor also. There's a sensor in the splash guard that monitors how much heat to put on the rear defoggers based out outside temp. Its located inside the splash guard.

That is a great tip. Thanks I would have never thought of that.

here is the name of that company i told you about...
Bavarian Auto Recycling 1-800-269-8970
They are based out of Rancho Cordova, don't know where that is in relation to you, but be prepared to sit on hold for a while, they have a lot of cars to search through. good luck
