Purpose and fitment for BMW E87 LCI

The presented right side skirt is dedicated to the BMW 1 Series E87 facelift (LCI) model, which means it is structurally matched to the factory mounting points of this vehicle. The component is designed as part of the external sill area, responsible for protecting the lower edge of the body and visually completing the side line of the car.

By maintaining the original geometry, the strip works with factory covers, doors, and other side panels, which reduces the need for additional bodywork modifications or adjustments to the mounts.

Spacegrau Metallic A52 color and aesthetic values

The factory Spacegrau Metallic A52 paint is a popular shade of grey used in the BMW range, characterized by a metallic finish and a subdued, modern color. Using the original color on the side skirt allows you to:

• maintain a uniform color line of the side bodywork,
• minimize the need for repainting the entire component,
• achieve a cohesive visual effect with the remaining body panels.

This is a particularly beneficial solution when replacing a damaged sill in cars used daily, where both functionality and aesthetics matter.

Characteristics of the used component

The side skirt comes from dismantling, which means it is a used part that retains the original manufacturer's specifications. Such components are often chosen as a reasonable compromise between repair costs and maintaining factory build quality. A used sill component allows for:

• restoring the original side line of the body without using non-factory replacements,
• reducing repair costs compared to a new part,
• maintaining compliance with the original BMW assembly technology.

For many BMW E87 LCI users, this is a practical way to restore the proper appearance and function of the sill area after operational damage.

Application in body and sill area repairs

The right side skirt plays an important role in protecting the lower part of the bodywork against dirt, chips, and minor mechanical damage. Replacing this element is recommended, among other things, after:

• parking damage and curb scrapes,
• corrosion or cracks within the sill area,
• local body and paint repairs in the lower part of the vehicle side.

Choosing an original side skirt in the correct color facilitates maintaining the visual and technical consistency of the entire sill area, which is important both for daily use and for the potential resale of the vehicle.

If you are planning a comprehensive repair or upgrade of the sill area in your BMW and need other elements from the same group, such as covers, overlays, or additional strips, check the available parts in the Other BMW category.
