where to buy clips for ext. trim?

Hey guys

I removed my rear bumper, but at the same time I happened to break off I think 3 clips. These clips went on the rear trims, above the wheel arches. On the drivers side, I took the whole trim off and I think I broke both clips that held it on. On the passengers side I only pried it off a little to get to the screw for the bumper, I think this one broke too

I searched REALOEM and came up with this picture

I think it is part 10 I need 1 of, but I dont know what the other clip is?

Also... where can I get these clips? I'd like to buy them at the dealer becuase they are so close, but how do I explain these clips to them?

you can just tell them you want to buy some clips and show them the part number for em..i dunno exactly how it'll work at your local dealer (cause i bought mine from classic mini) but just tell em the part number and such and they'll either have it in stock or not and hopefully? you'll be able to buy them right then and there..giving them a call in advanced would help too

Ugh... that sucks...! That's exactly why I have yet to remove my rear bumper!

The rear bumper comes off really easily. No clips that can break.

I have bought a bunch of assorted clips from my dealership. If they don't have them they can order them. They're not cheap though, almost $2 a piece if I remember.
