Plastic clips, fasteners and the like.

Post by MFHBlueberry »

Is there a “go to” source for all the little plastic trim clips that seem to just break each time you remove them? Also for the clever little twist release doodads that hold the panels to the underside of my C5?
Someone must sell this stuff or am I restricted to main dealers and scrappers?

Thanks!
Matthew.

You can still get them new from Citroen (and they are not that expensive). I got 40 about 2 years ago. On e-bay there was one seller, but asking something like £1 for 10 clips (plus P&P from Germany)!
