   hey guys/gals when i first brought my car i noticed that two of my arches, one side skirt, and lower door panel on drivers side are loose. They are stable. Its as though i have some clips missing to hold them on. Does this sound right? and if so how much can i get some for? cheers, andy

   Yep they are little plastic clips, 11p each i think from your local citroen, They just slot in the holder and pop into the bodywork..... shoddy to be fair and always break!
   
   Just hope your clip holders havnt fallen off aswell otherwise ur going to have to bond it on!

   yeah it hasn't bothered me before, but thought i should put it next on my list, 11p each makes it a lot more worthy hehe

   Even if the bracket that holds those little clips on come off it would be much easyer to use a glue gun and put them back on like that. instead of using a messy bonder.

   What's the best way of getting these on and off without damaging/ pressing dints into the kit?

   Citroen dont do the old clips anymore that were 11p, they do a new type which are just over 20p, they are stronger and more resistant to breaking BUT in my opinion they are crap as they dont hold the kit close enough to the car and you'll probably find that although the kit is stable you'll have a gap between that and your cars body.
