What are the different colour clips all about on 392 door cards?

neocleous · 08-30-2011, 09:23 AM

As the thread title really, when I replace the speakers in the door card I want to change all the clips for new ones to get a nice solid fit like new but on my door card there are different colour clips in certain places but they look the same to me.

The part number and quantaties are listed on real oem here but I was going to order a job lot of the white clips from eBay (they are genuine BMW ones)

Is there any difference?

Doesn't any one have any ideas?

I know there is white,grey, and red. If you want to play it safe
Just use the same as what the car has
If your ultimate goal is to make it tight
I am sure there was a reason why BMW used red near the door lock and something else elsewhere
I'm sure it would have been easier to use one type across the board

Your right I'll just dealer prices for the parts although I have bought clips from the dealer before and they aren't as good as the ones that came from the factory which I find very strange the top of them is different and they don't snap in to the panel's as tight.
