Source for fuel cap trim?

The bride's 2007 Mini Cooper S has somehow lost the circular trim piece that goes around the fuel filler door. I need to get it in laser blue if possible. Where can I find the part number? Where should I buy it?

Thanks in advance,
Seamus

You'll need the last few characters of your VIN to get the best results. Color choice might be difficult. Maybe try some of our NAM vendors.

A new replacement part only comes primered, not in colors. You'll have to get it painted at a body shop. Maybe you could find one from a MINI in a junkyard with the right color.

Item #8 (part# 51172754659) here: http://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/show...diagId=41_1768

You can buy it from a dealer or online vendor with the part number.
