Fir Tree Clip Alternative to EKM100270

Lovel · 21st October 2009, 19:23

I tend to go through a lot of fir tree clips EKM1002709 (old part num EYC000380 red) and always like to have some handy.

Has anyone used these in the link below as an alternative for the door panels or kick plates from Bresco, £7.49 for 20, thats 37p each clip, compared to £1.94 for the orginals.

In the side panels of the front bumper, what exactly do the fir tree clips fit into?
One side on my front panel seems decidely "loose" even though it looks like the fir tree is fitted correctly.
I'm therefore suspecting that whatever its supposed to clip to has fallen out.....???

Looks good, must check the sizes to see if one fits. However this company may be only interested in supplying sufficient volume?

Multiply the number of members x 4 tread plates x 3 fixings you could be onto a winner

I have quite a number of kick plate clips that I'm willing to supply to registered members for the cost of the postage..
