Default Sill clips – just checking

I'm just looking for confirmation of the right item, but car has been in for sill repair and repairer had to remove the chrome sill strip. Just had a call saying the clips are broken... I didn't really expect the trim to need removing.

I just looked at Rimmers who do have them in stock Part no Clip-sill finisher retaining - DDQ100460. Can someone just confirm they are the right items and how many are needed please?
Seen some on eBay but don't appear to be any cheaper and want good quality ones. I checked out previous posts on here but photos no longer show.
Thanks, Ray

Yup
https://www.google.com/search?q=DDQ1...JJFuDcY4oHdsM:

Cannot for the life of me remember how many. 12 per side rings a bell though

Edit, According to this £17 per set (12) delivered to UK here, or £29 for two sets

One of the items I try to get every time I see one in a scrapyard.

Find car with chrome trim still on.
Prise chrome trim off by front or rear clip. ( Clip will break)
remove plastic insert at back of the end of chrome strip if fitted
Go to opposite end of trim to where you have broken the clip and pull the chrome trim of the last clip (it will break)
Slide the entire chrome trim off revealing 10 good clips
rotate clips through 90 degrees and remove from car

Put in pocket ....

Thanks for all that – very helpful. Rimmers then work out almost £30 inc post/delivery. Tazoparts ones are a more reasonable £12 for 12, but is the quality as good? Can't see a delivery charge...
Any more thoughts?

Scraps maybe a good source but few around here and are they open? Will they have a donor available, a lot of time and effort unless you know for certain and if two break getting to them, I still end up getting some new.

I just continued through the screens as if I was going to purchase and then delivery was shown as £5 for one or two sets, this means £29 delivered for two sets.
Rimmers appear to work out at £46:20 delivered for two sets.

I find the fixings on earlier models tend to be fairly flexible while the later ZT ones are very brittle and can be a nightmare to get without breaking. They're tricky blighters to remove complete though.
