Not the keyhole cover but looked at there rear painted reflectors. Considering it's such a light item their shipping cost was expensive, so never went ahead, not much help I'm afraid other than just be aware of the shipping cost.

Thanks for the help pal!

I've dealt with the reflectors myself with some Spi Vision Film

Regards,
Tom

I think the iND product will be for the left hand side only.
Is this a genuine BMW part?
For the right hand front door, it looks like this part - 51217162434
"For vehicles with
Light package
S563A=Yes
04 Covering door, primed right"
If yours doesn't have the lighting package, just look up a LHD F30 on realoem, and go to Vehicle trim => Door, front => Locking system, door, front

That's what I'm planning to do! Once I work out how to either remove the fog light unit or the fog light covers so I can get to the unit!

Just been told £125 for a pair! Not sure how rich Corsa drivers are but I very much doubt I'll be making a purchase at that price

TBH it took me a while, but this isn't my first car, and I have a few mates who do tints and stuff for a living so I had a 60second course LOL!

It actually wasn't so difficult once I purchased myself a heat gun and moved away from the hairdryer!
