Scuttle Clips
 
Are these ere clips all the same colour? ie Black.
After some cos a few went flying when I checked to see in the ECU was dry.
I saw where they went but blow me if I can find them.
If anyone have a few used ones on the go then I'll happily pay you for them.
Mine look more like grey then black.

They are black but usually fade to grey. Scrapyard maybe? Cover the underside in grease when you pop them back in, for the hell of it. As an aside, my local scrappies have no 75's at all, maybe 'cos they generate little business.

The plastic material degrades with time, not only do they turn grey but they become pitted. For those that you haven't lost (Trikey or maybe it was Arctic suggested) you can cheaply renovate any intact old ones' - give the flat head a good rub down with fine wet and dry until smooth/flat; rinse and dry. Then spray with a coat of grey etch primer and as many coats as you like of semi-gloss black lacquer, should last for the rest of your cars life.
For those that have done a bunk, take a look around the plenum void, they also have a nasty habit of finding their way into the drain hole[s]).

They do fade with age - we have new ones, but they're black as they're brand new.
We will have some more full Scuttle Panels available early 2021 - then you can have a new matching black scuttle with clips. :D
