Vehicle plastic trim purchase?

[Welderpaul]

Mrs has a Fiat 500X. Its made up of bean tins and fantastic plastic.

There's been a bit of plastic trim over the back wheel hanging off it for ages. It's annoying me so i've decided to buy her an early xmas present

Where is the best place to buy trim from? I'll need some sort of way to ID which bit it is.

I suspect that will be a main dealer only part

my side panel snapped the brackets on the gatepost but it wasn't damaged just glued it back on with Sikaflex and bought some c4 trim restorer and its like new

Got a local fiat dealer?
Might be best to go in with the vin number and point out the exact part to the guy on the screen.
Probably won't be that expensive and at least it will fit and you can get new clips as well if it needs them.

Or trawl ebay, - arch trim, arch spat, stone chip shield, splash guard,
Or type the model of the car into ebay + breaking or wheel nut and send some messages asking if anybody has got it.

make sure you use the right glue. You dont want the car falling off it

To be fair the Fiat is probably miles ahead of Renault...

@Welderpaul I assume it's the wheel arch trim?

If so which wheel?

I brought my other half a new rear bumper for her less than a year old C3 a few years back as a birthday present, well , that’s what she asked for

Thats drivers side front

Thats drivers side front

My mistake!

Doesn't look like much available for the X model

Could be dealer only if no one is breaking one

Are you sure thats actually what she wanted ,,, Ive spent a life time trying to work out the difference .
Unlike men it seems that when women say they want some thing ,, actually they dont .

Ie , are you sure you want to do that ................ means dont you dare even think about it .
there may be other examples too.
