Number Plate Light - Cover Fell Off!

[OJM]

Shut my boot today, and one of the number plate light covers fell off - trouble is, the plastic clips built into the cover have snapped, although might be possible to super glue together. However, a metal clip also fell off (unless it was on the floor already). Does anyone know how it all pops back on?

I was going to go into BMW Nottingham to ask, but went in earlier and the bloke treated me like I shouldn't be in a BMW garage!

How weird! I had the same thing happen a few weeks ago I ordered a new cover as it cost around £2 and fitted it in 20 seconds. But only yesterday I closed the boot and noticed it loose again, when I looked the plastic lug on one side had broken again! I think i will now use a couple of drops of glue.
Best not to use to much incase the bulb needs replacing!

Same thing happened to mine a couple of weeks ago £2 for a new 1

I assume they class it as wear and tear then? Grr!

Nevermind, at least £2 isn't breaking the bank.

Cheers all!

it happened to me too a while back then the bulb went because it got wet and dirty. Cheap replacement part and it was sorted

Weird how it has happened to so many people

Was that Sytner Nottingham? Doesn't surprise me really.

Yeah, Sytner Nottingham - if I had to deal with him again, I was going to say something - must just be jealous that a 23 year old lad, who looks 18, is driving a Cooper S

Anyway, £2.46 for the replacement cover - nearly broke the bloody thing clipping into place though! All sorted now though!

...however, my run flat indicator lit up today! Grrr, why is it always one thing after another!? Looks ok now I've pumped the tyres up though. Fingers crossed.

Where did you guys get the replacement from?
