Rear Bumper Fasteners

Hello everyone,

I'm new to this forum and have been having trouble finding the specific information I am looking for.

I had a trailer hitch installed by U-Haul on my 2010 Cooper S awhile back and because I am a knucklehead at times, I did not inspect everything regarding the installation.
Anyways, it turns out the team that did the install did not reinstall the bumper cover fully and scrapped most of the fasteners although they had me convinced it was all done properly... (all the alignments were nice and fit properly most likely with false or incorrect fasteners/zipties) after a few months the bumper cover has begun to sag revealing the missing mounting components.
Both wheel well liners are missing their fasteners and I have not yet removed the trim to check the fasteners there.

I have found the how-tos to take off and reinstall the bumper 10 times over but cannot manage to find the replacement pieces/sizes etc. needed to properly mount it.
The plan would be to get all of the mounting fasteners and remove/reinstall the bumper properly with all new components.

Could someone please provide a list of all of the bolts, screws, fasteners, clips etc. and their sizes?
Or provide a link to information I seek? The OEM information I found is unclear on the subject.

Thanks in advance
I appreciate the help

This may help - cross reference the part numbers for fasteners and screws to ecstuning or some other website where you can purchase them. I haven't taken off the rear bumper myself so I can't say if there's anything missing from the diagram but hope this is a good place to start

This is by far the best fastener diagram plus instructions I have come across. I hope this helps anyone that runs into the missing fastener issues.
