Ouch!!!! Blimey prices are ridiculous for fasteners :-(I had a quote for them clips from Rybrook BMW on Monday. £2.04 each so I'll be sticking with the old ones!

Some things are crazy, I need some of the small round covers at the front of the dash by the windscreen that cover the bolts and they are almost 7 quid each. Almost 9 quid for a small plastic surround that goes around the hazard switch on the ///M console, then it's less than a fiver for a 5mm rear spring pad.Ouch!!!!

Some are. But many are a very reasonable price and some are cheaper than 3rd party. Usually best to start with BMW for small parts. Well any parts to be honest as even some of the bigger stuff is reasonably priced.Ouch!!!! Blimey prices are ridiculous for fasteners :-(
Never seen those before and I have tried to find some. If they do the job they are a bargain. I've just ordered some. Thanks.Bulb holders aren't expensive either, 10 for £3:80, if you just need 2-3 let me know, I have loads, will stick them in the post.

I am not sure these work, I think @ktnez99 had some of these for the side vents when the car went in for paint and they didn't fit correctly. These are more for doorcards.For anyone looking for grille clips - found by someone on FB - https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07CNRRWJK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Bit of a wait for delivery but can't complain for £4 for 50!
I think they managed to go in and secure the vents in place but they didn't sit correctly. @ktnez99 will be able to let you know more if they were the same.Oh b***** :-( oh well worth a try!
@g8jka and @TraceyP Yep, they're not a great fit, in fact, they're rubbish so save your money. I had help from the very kind @Mazza with the ones I ended up replacing the duff Amazon ones with. I hope this helps. After all, in the words of that supermarket chain: every little helps.I think they managed to go in and secure the vents in place but they didn't sit correctly. @ktnez99 will be able to let you know more if they were the same.
NO!!! Don't do it. The fit is rubbish!!!Never seen those before and I have tried to find some. If they do the job they are a bargain. I've just ordered some. Thanks.
Gordon Bennet - they aren't are they???Some things are crazy, I need some of the small round covers at the front of the dash by the windscreen that cover the bolts and they are almost 7 quid each.

Thankyou
I'm looking to either prove they are useable or are not up to the job. For £3.80 I don't mind which way it goes if I can report back and help others out. I have a good supply of originals so haven't bought them to use.NO!!! Don't do it. The fit is rubbish!!!
