I replaced my standard arches with painted ones and tried to re-use the clips. Half of them broke. I would plan in using new clips.

If you call your local dealer they can confirm if these are the correct part: http://www.miamibritish.com/view-product/2561

Just ring TLO site sponsor he will tell you what you need and the part number, when I fit mine they came with new clips. but a few spare is always good.

Aljo,

I'm about do the same and bit of a beginner when it comes to things like this. I was also wondering about the spare clips. Let me know how you get on and any tips!

Cheers
