 They are very thin and would dent or ding easily, but should work to protect

I totally agree. I had these on my gray market 323i when I bought it. The
area under it was pretty grungy and started to corrode when I removed them.

Besides, unless you like the pimpmobile-look that Karl Wolz & Mike Miller
favor, I'd stay away from them. Both wheel arches and the two with the broken
arches.

ps:

I had to click <learn> on my spellchecker to accept "pimpmobile" as a word.
What's up with that?
