Mounting Fender Flares - what keeps them in place???
 

My 2002 4.6 was missing one of the rear, lower fender flares (#2 in this diagram)

There are holes in the standard wheel arch plastic where the tabs on the new part go, but there doesn't seem to be any way to "fasten" them to the plastic. There is a screw at the bottom, but otherwise it seems like they would just fall off.

Am I missing something? Is there a clip or some other retainer I'm missing to mount these?

EDIT - I've answered my own questions. There is a mounting kit that supposed to go with these; clips don't appear to be sold individually. PROBLEM is that the set is backordered with no ETA. 51-11-7-073-517

So the next question; anyone know if these clips are used on some other car, that may be available individually?

Looks like they were only for the e53.

How many do you need? I have some laying in my parts bin I think...

Have you checked And Rover parts?

There are quite a few interchangeable parts from when BMW owned Lamb Roller.

A couple of ebay sellers claim to have them. One cheaper than the other, out of country though so delivery could take awhile. Last time I ordered from Latvia it took 2-3 weeks.
