1M rep rear wheelwell covers

I am trying to figure out the proper inner wheelwell cover for a 1m rep with the converted rear quarter. Seems like the 1m cover would be the natural solution, but tun3d lists the 1M part, but says they are e92 M2 rear covers. Can anyone clarify this?

If you're doing a conversion, there are a few parts that are shared between 1M/M3. Easiest way to check would be to compare part numbers.

Here is the excerpt from TUN3D thread:

Optional Parts:
51128051910 - Diffuser (*3)
51718051593 - Cover, Wheel Housing, Rear L (*4)
51718051594 - Cover, Wheel housing, Rear R (*4)


*4) After tons of research, these are the correct parts. For reference, they are E92-M3 fender liners. Unfortunately...these don't "pop" right in. Everyone goes about the conversion differently, which ultimately dictates fitment. In other words, you'll have to modify them (cut/trim), to make it work for you. There is another possible solution available (if you absolutely need them to fit 150% without modification). PM me if you're interested.

So he lists the 1M part numbers, but then asterik 4 mentions they are M3, which have a different number.
TUN3D no longer visits forum, so that is why I am asking if anyone has any clarification.

Right. It's a scrap bin M3 part they used.

Everyone does their rear quarter conversion differently, so it may not fit perfectly as it only fits perfectly if the bodywork is close to perfectly factory.

Buy it and cut it to fit and let us know how it goes!

I have both in my basement. I will take some pictures for you and you can compare. They are very similar but not the same.

Pics comparing the two would be great and much appreciated!

I ordered one of the 1m ones already so I will see how it fits with my setup once it arrives. It was actually cheaper than the M3 surprisingly.

Thanks
