Where can i buy one of the clips that go over the black piece of plastic that covers the back of the headlamp? I was changing a bulb and it dropped down and i cant see it. I went to my local vw/audi parts centre and they only sell them with the full headlamp for £120!!

They dealer is correct. The 2 metal spring clips are deemed part of the headlamp and aren't listed as separately available parts. I think you're going to struggle to get one without purchasing a complete headlamp unit unless someone has a damaged headlamp and are prepared to sell you just the clips, but it would be like finding a needle in a haystack.

Which clip have you lost, top top or bottom one?

You're probably going to have to come up with a bodgy solution to prevent moisture getting into the lamp until you can find a more permanent resolution.

Scrapyard or make one from piano wire (model shop or eBay).
The top one appears to be around 1.6mm (16 swg) and the bottom one 2.0mm (14 swg).

Same happened with my 206, wanted £200+ for the rear coverplate over the bulbs as it only came with the full unit.

Scrappy for the win.
