Yep its those rear supports from the underside. Hard to find them still as the factory ones have been NLA, lots of people across the pond here do the R56 JCW Aero side skirts we carry to the R50/R52/R53 conversion.

Thanks, its probably about time I got round to replacing my 3 year old duct tape patch job. I'm always wary of spending anything on a 2005 with 183k miles on it, it always seems like tempting fate for something much more expensive/ terminal to occurs shortly afterwards! Kind of like filling the tank to the brim with premium as that effectively doubles the value of the vehicle:D
