Hello and greetings from Finland!
I bought a 1989 Clipper Cabrio last year and have been fixing it for this winter now.
Car is pretty solid but the front panel was so rusty and dented that it needed to be replaced. And when i removed those old rusty bits i forgot to remove all of the grillīs fasteners so they are gone..
Does anybody know where i could get them? The grill was held in place with screws that were screwed to plastic bits which were in the locking steel panel, or what it is called.
Ebay sells only new plastic tabs which donīt fit carīs original grill.
Thanks!

Thanks for fast reply!
Maybe i put some photos later on..
Those fasteners donīt fit. I already bought set of those just to find that they are too big to fit through grillīs holes..
Original fasteners are a sort of plastic "blobs" with threads which are clipped to same places that those on that link, but instead of inserting tabs to them, a screw secures the grill in place.

Clipper grilles held on with 4 screws. 2 in the corner and 2 on the top. The front panel has plastic clips that the screws go in to.
Cheers

I`ve got 2 of the top ones..i thought that the outer ones next to the headlamps were different..or at least they were one mine.

I've ordered a handful from ECP as I too have loads missing. After fitting a single lamp grille this weekend I found I had about 4 or so missing so hopefully they are the right ones

Well, this parts search might end happily
Emailed to classic-vw and got answer that they will put those clips to their webshop.
I also found correct part number for this, itīs 873853139 and called "expanding nut".
