Once again i have a trim related question.
My Car is a A63 option R/T but the tail panel on the car was missing.
I thought i would never buy one because the asking prices out there are not reasonable for me.
Anyway the nicest things happen when you don't expect them and i bought a NOS 70s panel for less than 250 bucks from a guy directly here in Germany. Yay!
Its in astrotone and not black as it should be but i dont want to touch the original color now.

Now i am looking for the correct retainers and nuts to fasten it back on my car but i red those clips are kind of rare.
I only have one picture showing the way its done but i dont know how the fasteners look like exactly.

Can someone tell/show me what exactly is needed - maybe i find some remaining clips in a box that came with the car.

Maybe someone is selling some clips?
I'm making the bottom clips and I also have nos fender clips

Thanks @/sixchall i just realized that i will need the edge retainers too.
I thought they will be the same as the standard ones but nope.

Today i put the panel loose on its place to check the fitting.

Not really bad but i think i need those correct clips to get a proper fitting and pull the edges flush on the car...
(like you can see on the pic)

Never expected that the retainers will cause more headache than buying the panel itself. :confused:

Checked everywhere in the web but no chance to get them right now.
I have them the rear fender clips ad well as the bottom clips

A member here was reproducing those and selling them a few months ago.
He may be out now. Do a search on the SE clips and you may find his add.
