The clips are color coded ( 4 colors) so there a few which you could put in the wrong place.

When I did mine, I had all new clips ($$$$$) and when removing the original side skirts I took note of which color went where....

You can always return what clips you dont use....

The film will show the parts advisor how many are needed. It’s somewhat of a PITA and will take a while if also answering the phone and handling techs needs.

id call ahead of time, tell the MINI parts advisor what your doing and needing so they can get a jump on it.
