Yeah, it took ages to Google 'clarkson smug face', copy the img tag and then paste it here, and click submit.

30 seconds of my life wasted, whilst watching a movie in my living room.

Lighten up :lol:

P.s. It took longer to type this reply, than to post that pic above :wink:

it is indeed that part, and I also recall the previous owner giving me a bag with some bits he didn't know where they fitted, in there I just found the two I needed - but massive thanks for the kind offer.

I also found: 542170763989.9 and 542170763990.9 (The hard top lock mechanism covers) which I understand are (or at least were) a little scarce..

I believe Savage found both "sets" of covers. The ones which cover the hardtop fitment holes (as Marlon has pictured) and also the hardtop side covers (as Ranski has pictured)! :)

Hi - yes, I'm sorry I caused some confusion. I was indeed originally asking after the smaller rubber post covers, but then I remembered there was a bag in the boot, and in there I found both the rubber post covers AND the larger plastic/fabric Hardtop lock covers, which I currently don't need as I don't have a hardtop.

Sorry for the confusion...

I managed to find myself a hard top for my '06 Z4 3.0si, but upon inspection - found that it's missing the lock covers! Argh!

Anyone know where one can pickup a set of these, or if anyone is selling?

Incredibly rare. If they don't come with the hardtop you'll be hard pressed to find them being sold individually! I heard about some 3D printed ones, but never looked into personally. Maybe worth pursuing?

Yeah I know it's likely a futile search. Unfortunately finding one in the USA is hard enough - second, they mostly come missing all the pieces! Ugh!
