Interior mirror control triangle and front wheel arch liners

[rhys.williams007@yahoo.co.uk]

Hi,
Has anyone replaced the internal mirror control triangle piece (drivers side) recently? just the plastic piece not the mirror control itself, can't find anywhere in the UK? Also I need to replace the full front arch plastic liners (both sides) as the front lips have been ripped off previously and broken off the clip pieces. Car is C4S 2003.

Looking for either eBay or other and not Porsche! (if possible?!!)

Cheers

Have you tried 9Apart? They are one of the best dismantlers. Maybe also try Boxsterbits.co.uk. Best give them a call as they don't list everything on their web site. Prestige salvage in Leeds might be another option. The triangle trim from Porsche is about £35.

The front wheel arch liners come in two parts, so you may be able to get away with replacing the front section only. i think they are about £100 a side from Porsche if you can't find them at a breakers.

I am not sure why you wish to avoid Porsche but my local OPC are very helpful. I know a lot of people assume they will be more expensive than independents but that is always the case and PCGB members typically get a 10% discount on parts.
For the small triangular piece it is likely to be too small for a breakers to bother. It also comes in a variety of colours which I think makes it even less appealing to a breakers. I replaced mine a few months back as previous owner had broken the retaining tabs. As Richard says it was about £35.
For the wheel arch liner I too had to replace mine as the air duct had been broken off which had broken the clips. The replacement front part for the C4S liner actually comes in three parts. The main part is 996.554.124.00 which comes with the rubber lip 996.504.504.02 and air duct 996.504.604.01 attached. These are drivers side part numbers. Cost was about $70 + VAT for all three bits. My OPC ordered all three parts separately but when they arrived they realised the large part already had the smaller parts attached. Hopefully the image works and you can see what I removed / fitted. With what had been broken off, as I recall, I needed an additional couple of screws but fortunately I had some.
