As the genuine part can be very expensive I used the equivalent from Byronix Automotive Fasteners (coloured yellow) which is identical apart from being slightly longer which actually helps them to be more secure.
I think that persevering is probably better than spoiling the trim with exposed screw heads.

PS The part number is EKM 100270. |
The yellow clips are not identical, they are made from polypropylene not acetal resin like the originals.
