Arch extender clips

[Liamk]

As per title, does anyone know where I can get the metal clips that hold the arch extensions on, I could do with afew for the rear bumper arch flares but can’t find any on eBay etc, had a look on realoem but couldn’t find on there either. They are rectangular metal clips that push on to some tags on the flares and the metal teeth bite into the plastic. If not I will have to dream something else up, cheers in advance Liam.

Metal clips? Aren't they secured with plastic rivets?

[Liamk]

No metal rectangular retainers, I will get a photo tomorrow, these are for the extension pieces that only the IS models have they hold the extensions on by pushing over plastic lugs that protrude through the original arch moulding, they work essentially like a star washer by pushing tight over the lugs and the metal tabs bend and bite into the plastic acting like a one way valve in effect.

OK. So you must mean these?

Managed to open the image on the computer rather then my iPhone, well done sir they are correct, but where can I get some from? Dealer only maybe?

First I just had to make sure we are talking about the same fastener. Unfortunately it seems that those are not sold separately but come with the molding.

And the right front is NLA or backordered. I even called my dealer and came back as unavailable even on a nationwide search. Left side seems in stock but no right side. I even asked my dealer what the chances were that they would ever be made again since our models are now 15 years old and he doubted we will ever see them again.
