stupid red clips on s/c intake arm r53

Theres these two clips, ones for the pcv and I didnt trace the other one, that hook up to the intake arm directly before the supercharger. When I was working on my car I accidentally broke one. Mini wants me to buy the whole arm for a simple little clip! 100 dollar arm for a little removable red clip!!! Does anyone know where I can get this clip or clips like it

Are you talking about the "red parts" on the intake Duct for the supercharger.

#15 main unit in diagram



Intake Duct For SuperCharger - Manual transmission

If so MINI does not have a separate part for that. If not then maybe you could show me using the picture diagram.



Update Land rover part here that works: https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...lzn100220l~om/




Thanks

I really hate to bump threads, but i found very little info besides people talking about breaking them. Ryanleesis was on the right track, the youtube video below is the autoxcooper guy, but i dont think he sells them.

landrover part LZN100220L is an alternative to fixing one broken clip - right around $30-40 on ebay. Much cheaper than a $110+ pipe(sorry ECS, but you guys were the cheapest i found though)

Even after comments they didn't change their wording
