Hey guys, need a part number please. This part pictured below is found at the bottom on the front of the front arch. The one pictured is the drivers side.

I require the passneger side one as well as the clips holding it on as somewhere down the car life, it has come off (I had to reattach the drivers side one at one point too)

If you can help, thanks

near side/off side can best be remembered using your proximity to the ditch as you drive.

passenger side is nearest ditch - near side.

The origins of the phrase terms go back to the days of the horse and cart.

"Near wheel” means that to the coachman’s left hand; and “near horse” (in a pair) means that to the left hand of the driver. In a four-in-hand the two horses on the left side of the coachman are the near wheeler and the near leader. Those on the right hand side of the coachman are “off horses.” This, which seems an anomaly, arose when the driver walked beside his team. The teamster always walks with his right arm nearest the horse, and therefore, in a pair of horses, the horse on the left side is nearer than the one on his right.
