Rubber trim over back wheel loose - any ideas?

[tshizzle]

I bought this Mini with the dent in place, and I knew the trim would pose an issue at some point. But the price was just too good to pass up and I loved the black on black color scheme!

Anyone have any ideas of how I can kinda just get it to stick in place? Im just worried that over time it will start to kinda bend outward and look even worse. The little thing that pops into the hole there doesnt fit because of how its dented in slightly. Its really not that noticeable, it just drives me crazy !

Heres a pic of what Im talking about:

Get the ding fixed up, and a new trim bit (pretty cheap) and you'll be right

The trim pieces are REALLY inexpensive. I beleive you could getthat piece with all the clips for under $25.

She's still gotta get the ding fixed though, because she's said that it doesn't go in the panel hole properly because of it.

you think something like this will require tons of body work? ($$$) or pretty cheap? the dent as you can see bent the back bumper in a bit as well as the end of the side panel there.

The panel can probarbly be beaten (its a welded on panel so its easier to beat it than replace it), but the bumper will be cheaper to just replace - although the AERO bumper is just as cheap, so you may as well take it as an opportunity to stick the AERO bum on.

Best thing you can do is speak to your local BMW dealer, find out where they send their work, and go and speak with the panel shop direct.
