About part number 51777318830

A wheel arch moulding trim is an exterior body component that attaches to the rear right-hand side panel around the wheel opening. It forms part of the vehicle trim system, protecting the edge of the wing from stone chips, dirt, and road debris while sealing the gap between the bodywork and the wheel bay. When it is correctly fitted, the trim sits flush against the panel, keeping the side of the vehicle clean and reducing wind noise around the arch.

To ensure this component is the correct replacement, you must match the manufacturer part number 51777318830 with the number stamped on your original unit. On plastic exterior trims like this, the part number is typically moulded into the inner or underside surface that faces the bodywork. Matching this exact number is the only way to guarantee correct fitment, alignment, and clip placement.

People usually replace a wheel arch moulding because the original plastic has become scratched, cracked, faded by weather, or pulled away from the body panel after an impact. When fitting a replacement trim, you will commonly need new plastic mounting clips or fixings, as the original fasteners often break or lose their tension when the old trim is removed.

About this kind of part: trim mouldings

A trim moulding is a long, narrow strip that finishes an edge or a joint on the outside of a car: a door moulding, a sill cover, a wheel arch trim, a window finisher or a roof strip. Most are plastic, either painted to match the body or supplied in a textured black or a bright finish, and they clip to studs or to double-sided tape. They are cosmetic rather than structural, but they also cover the panel joint underneath, so a missing one leaves a gap where water and grit collect.

Why people replace one

  • A knock or a car wash has pulled the moulding away and broken the clips behind it.
  • The painted finish has chipped along the leading edge, which happens from stone strike on anything low down.
  • A textured black trim has gone grey and chalky in the sun, which cannot be cleaned back.
  • The double-sided tape has let go in the heat, so the strip lifts at one end and flaps.
  • A panel has been replaced and the original trim was broken getting it off.

Fitting it

  • A clipped moulding comes off by releasing each clip in turn from one end rather than pulling in the middle, where it will crack.
  • The clips themselves are usually separate parts and are normally replaced rather than reused, because they stretch once they have been off.
  • A taped moulding needs the old adhesive cleaned off the panel and new tape of the correct width, applied to a warm, dry panel.
  • Check which way up the strip goes before fitting. Many are handed and look symmetrical.

Making sure it is the right one

  • Match the part number. A moulding from the front door and one from the rear door of the same car are different lengths and different numbers, and so are the two sides.
  • If the trim is a wheel arch or a sill, check whether yours has openings for parking sensors. One without the openings cannot be used on a car that has them.
  • Compare the finish: the same moulding is made painted, in textured black and in a bright finish, and each is a separate number.
  • Count the clip positions along the back and compare them with the studs on your own car.

What to look for in the photographs

A Part number — Moulded or printed on the back face, usually towards one end.
B Clip positions — The row of clip seats or studs along the back. Count them and compare the spacing with your own car.
C Sensor openings — Openings for parking sensors, where the trim is an arch or a sill. Their presence or absence decides whether it fits your car.
D End profile — The shape of each end, which is what tells a front strip from a rear one and one side from the other.
E Leading edge — Look along the lower or forward edge, where stone chipping collects. It is the part a flat photograph flatters most.
F Tape or clip channel — Whether the back has a tape bed or a clip channel. These are not interchangeable.
