Default Where can I buy these!?

Hi everyone,

I’m looking at replacing the push clips that attach my bumper, headlights, grille, etc, to the car.

Rossco has been gracious enough to help out with a good price on the genuine items, but a good price is still a huge rip off, as is the case in Australia when it comes to genuine parts.

Aside from spending $100+ on a few clips, is there anywhere that sells generic clips that are similar or the same??

These are the ones I’m talking about.. they are designed to break when you go to remove them, so Subaru can make a lot of money when you have to replace them.



I'm sure Autopro or Supercheap would have them in the "Champion" range, but their website leaves a lot to be desired and I can't quite find what I'm looking for.. any ideas?

All help is appreciated. Cheers

Joe - apart from Subaru I have had no luck with finding the clips. Supercheap/Repco didn't have them.

Aren't they scrivets?

Call Andy, Sophie or Fiona at Autowest on 9535 6666 and ask them, tell them you know me Joe.

If they have them, I will pick them up and post them to you or you can pick them up from my old boys work in welshpool

Champion parts do them, most auto shops should have a champion parts display which has small blister packs of assorted auto fasteners.

Joe,
there was this thread a while ago.
I don't know if it still is current.

Joe, PM me your email address. I can scan the auto fastener section from the Champion catalog & send it as a PDF.

WHS, that's who I've used in the past.

I had to buy a few of these from subaru, they are outrageously priced.
