Rear splash guard and trim clips

The wife's terriors got into a tear and ate a big hole in the front of the right rear splash guard, up in the wheel well, and also ripped off that trim piece around the wheel with the red light in the back, breaking off a bunch of the trim clips, buttons whatever they're called. The trim piece is ok, I just need the splash guard and the clips that mount on the trim piece and snap into the panel. Where can I find this stuff? I wouldn't mind used stuff.







I'm glad it's her car, not mine.

Wow... I've heard of dogs eating your homework, but never your car. ;-)

Here are the relevant parts, listed on RealOEM.com:

OK, I found this place, cool. http://realoem.com/bmw/select.do

So now I have the part numbers and it looks like the shield is about $60. Can anyone tell me how big a job it is getting these panel clips out without breaking a bunch of them, I suppose I could remove it first to see how it goes and what clips I am going to need.

Thanks, Spridget, I took off the broken clips from the trim, and that's easy. The splash guard also came out with no problems with the Phillips plastic trim screws and I have all of them. So it looks like all I need is the shield and a couple of clips. That would have probably been $500 at the body shop. But I think the clips I need are #15.

The old lady owes me big time, again. Yeah, dogs eat the homework. These dogs ate about a foot off the bottom trim of the front door last summer. When they get on a tear, they go all out. They'd rip your foot of if you let them. I wouldn't let them around children. Border Terriers.
