Hello , new member - info on clips for wheel arches mk1 please


Recommended Posts

I'm about to put some sills on my 2006 Transit connect.

i always try to look at the whole job.

I've visited a few car body repair shops to get myself up to date on things.

 

They say :

You cant pull the wheel arch trims off without mostly total loss of the clips.

Ford garages:

Ford price for just one clip is outrageous at £ 9.60 - 353129 on parts diagram

There are 3 different types

and it looks like i will need 30 plus if a lot bust.

ebay: 

Pitfalls - show all sorts, some not even looking like any of them ..... and unknown quality, maybe brittle,  too small . don't know

 

Motor factors around here don't do them ....

 

I'd much appreciate advice please on this .....

where to get these clips from in the UK at a value for money price .

Recommendations

 

Take into account i don't want these failing at a later date .....i want them to fit correctly not "that'll do"

 

oh btw ..UK not in EU any more so could not put that down as region

another BTW ..have i joined that right group  ..being in the uk .....or are there others

we have a lot of rust problems in the uk .....and cant see many topics covering this 

 

all the best..mark
