Looks like you have missed Halfords by a few minutes, sometimes large petrol stations have a rack of assorted screws etc. You might get lucky and find a screw that fits but I doubt if you will find a trim clip.
If you have a mirror and a torch try using these to see into the awkward dark spaces and if you spot the screw don't try to grab it with your hand use a magnetic screwdriver. I would of thought that the screw would of fallen down towards the steering column or gone into the ignition shroud or failing that, into the Black Hole that is littered with allen keys and sockets from my tool kit.
