It seems that a part of my front wheel arch trim extension has lost its connection with the holding screws and its loose on one part. How can i fix it?

 

Can you take a picture and post? You may need a new trim section, screw, metal backing clip or plastic molding clip.

in some cases fenders and wheel arches and the like will actually FLY off! They're super easy and cheap to replace. In most cases the just snap on and off and can be replaced in minutes. Wheel arch trim includes the mounting clips and snaps.

Left = Driver and Right = Passenger (on a Left Hand Drive car) See drop down menu for list of items.

 

Do i have to buy a new wheel arch trim, or do i just get clips and stuff that hold it? From what is seen in the pic, there seems to be a broken clip that allow is to stick out!

 

No need for new trim. Look where it is still attached. It will use something like the image below. Order on Amazon and install.

 

1. For one or two mounting clips im gonna pay 22$ ? Thats too much isn't it?
2. Is there some video on how to install those clips?

This is the part you need, obv this is UK but similar search on US site should find it.

 

So as seen from the pic, i just need one?
How will i make the wheel arch trim clip? Do i just press it, or?
How will i remove the broken one that is already in there?

On checking your pic, you need the larger ones for this area of the trim. They slide into the plastic wheel arch part and then push fit into body. Remove the broken one with pliers and wiggle it out/pull.

 

Do i need to unclip the whole wheel arch trim to place all the clips and then mount it all back? Im asking because right now, although i can see that two clips are out of place or broken, its not easy to replace the one of the two, because its very close/almost attached to the wing. This because the third one keeps it there as its clipped fine... u know what i mean?
And also in RealOEM those wheel arch trim clips are no were to be found!

 

These are the clips 07132757821 : https://www.ecstuning.com/Search/Sit...h/07132757821/

Here are all the arches and what they look like on the back:

You will have a better chance of uncliping the whole thing then starting again, just be careful not to break them. They slide in from the side onto the heads of those clips, then line up and press.


This tool works great for those removals and installs: https://www.ecstuning.com/b-schwaben...ieces/phr-05s/

 

Those clips are for the R56S?

Suppose im not very lucky and some clips break, can i just replace it and star over again? Or let me say it differently, would it be easier to just remove the arc and replace all the clips with new ones?

 

1. Yes.

2. I would get the clips for all as back up, (you can see how many are on that trim) and remove the trim then replace them.

 

Thanks
Could you please just describe the way that the mounting will be done once i place all the new clips on the arch? What are the movements that needed to be made on the arch, once i get it close to the wing just before mounting it.

Having removed and re-installed the rear wheel arch trims I too recommend getting new spare clips. Also: needle nose pliers or (better) bent nose pliers will come very handy.

Here in Germany it is frequently cheaper to obtain such small parts directly from BMW (this also applies to the clip 07132757821).

Just line up and then snap in, look at the back of the piece and make sure those clips are close to the holes. Thats pretty much it. You can adjust them a little in the slot to line up.
