So it is almost time to reinstall my bubs. I know there are plastic clips , but where can I find these plastic clips?
Thanks in advance,
Finn

I do not know of any plastic clips on the rubber bumpers. There is a bracket on each fender, and a corresponding rubber "clip" inside the end of the bumper. They "hook" into each other. Similar across the top. Push the rubber close to the steel, and "hook" the rubber in. Then pull it back out a little and tighten the two bolts from underneath

There are no plastic clips that I have ever seen. The shocks bolt to the body in a fairly evident way. I believe that all four shocks are unique, so I don't think that you can mess it up if you wanted to. Each shock has two tabs with holes in them. There should be a short piece of steel tube that fits between the two tabs to keep them from bending.
There are two collars with rubber gaskets for the front shocks. They bolt to the bulkhead around the shock tubes and keep water out of your trunk.
Lastly, the bumpers slide onto the shock tabs. Four large bolts (2 front, 2 rear) hold them on. The very last thing you will do is engage the clips that are molded into the bumper to the clips that are welded to the car. This keeps them snug to the bodywork.
Hope that helps!
