    plastic protective panel under the fuel tanks -- part information?

    I'm looking for the plastic rivets that hold these plastic panels under the fuel tanks, but couldn't find these things on RealOEM. Anyone?

    The ones that the rear v-brace goes under in the molded grooves? The expanding rivets should be 4185 here:

      Great job and thanks! I was looking at that page but the panels didn’t look the same and no description, and so I thought they were at front or mid section.

        Just FYI, I -think- there are just two sizes of plastic rivets on the m3...a long skinny one and a short fat one.

            I stand corrected...and probably have used the wrong rivets in several places then 🤣
