Front Bumper screws/clips

[wilfster]

Underneath the R front bumper are 3 big screws that hold it to the front cross member. They also retain the front edge of the undertray. The screws fit into rectangular clips that fit into rectangular holes in the cross member. There are plenty of ads on Ebay for similar things to fit Audis and VWs, but they all say not compatible with Leon Mk1. Can anybody advise me how to get the correct size screws and clips? Thanks.

There doesn't seem to be a parts diagram from the LCR but is this one for the LC any use?

Think you need speed nut number 12.

I've been able to answer my own question, so thought I'd share it in case helps anyone else. The clips are m6 U clips. I've used the type called "chimney clips" which have a threaded section to take a bolt - stronger fixing than the original. The clips fit into rectangular cut-outs in the front cross-member. I got galvanised clips and used m6 stainless steel set screws and washers. All bits available on Ebay.

Thanks for posting this - for a while now, one of those screws on my bumper just hasn't been grabbing, and have been thinking about replacing it, but had no idea what it screwed into. I'll look into getting some replacement parts now.
