Hey all,

I did try to use the search function but I may be blind as I can't locate anything about these specific clips. Anyway...

I've recently become an owner of a Tornado Grey 86 GTS and my first manual car and I am loving every second of it. However, I have had one small issue that I've noticed and that is that I'm missing a clip or two from the rear bumper bar.

I believe one is a standard 8mm Push type clip that you can find all over any car, however the other I am not sure about. I have not taken off the bumper to get a better look but hopefully the pictures provided (I know they're pretty awful) will get me the information I need.

It won't let me upload images as they're much bigger than the upload limit allows so I've quickly screen capped with Gyazo and hopefully ehy'll do the job even thought the quality suffers.

Here is the panel gap that appears due to the lack of the clip:

Here is the area (in the wheel well, back of the car) where the clip should be:

Here is what it should look like judging by the other side:

Again I apologize if the images aren't the best and I'll try to get some better ones during the day whenever I can.

The push clip itself isn't the issue, but it looks like there's a retainer or clip of sorts that is supposed to hold the push screw/clip and I've never come across this type of clip before.

Any direction you can point me in to replace these is very much appreciated. If they can be purchased online that would be ace as I work long hours and getting to toyota/subaru is kind of hard for me to schedule.

Thank you in advance!
EDIT: Also wasn't sure if this was the correct sub-forum to post in, my bad if it's incorrect.
