Default engine undercover

Hello
I've just noticed what looks like a sump/engine cover looks to be very low under the front of the car, i'll look at the weekend, if i can get it up on ramps, anyone know what keeps it in place normally, i'll probably need to buy some to fix it up again.
God I hope these cars have a cover at the base of the engine or my cars in a bad way

These are the original type of fixings:

I dont mind using propper parts... but £18 for 10 bits of plastic or £1 for a load of cable ties.
Guess what i'm going to use
The ebay pics were a great help and the cover for sale pic was usefull

Thanks Guys

Some members also replace the original fittings with these:

Much more affordable. They also work well.

Re-attach with cable ties; easy peasy and simple to replace if they snap off. The original fixings are great but expensive.
