Default Broken Splitter and Bumber Clips :(

Last night at my friends, I did my usual of driving over a patch of grass to leave where he lives, which is a type of old farm. But forgot I'd lowered my car on Saturday, and destroyed my splitter.

I will have to buy a new one, which I'm annoyed about, but I'm more bothered about the bumper. I think I have snapped some clips, but aren't too sure.

Can anyone tell me which clips I need to get and where I can buy them please?

Middle of this pic, there seemed to of been a clip? Nothing there now though

Can I get them online? As I don't have a garage anywhere near me.

Or does anyone have any spare they could post me, and I'll paypal them?


Thanks

I've bought my 2nd Splitter from the group buy this morning! Wanted the same, as it was a very good fit, and good quality.

I did think about phoning, but I didn't want to sound a tit, as they probably wouldn't know which clips I mean't.

bigarf, I did think about just getting some bolts from work, but wasn't sure....as if it did happen again, something else may snap, other than a cheapo clip?!
