Bumper clip install

[Mspir3d]

I picked up a set of these brackets to help with my rear bumper gap. They did a great job of closing up the gap and are much stronger than the originals. I would highly recommend them but now I don’t know how to install the metal clips that hold it in place. The originals were long gone...any ideas?

Can you link all these parts please? My bumper has some sag

Following. Took my bumper off today to get it repainted. I may use this when putting it back.

Brackets can be found on this website: https://trinitygraphicsnc.com/

I gave up on the clips and drilled a hole to run a zip tie through. I was able to pull the bumper cover up that way enough. I’ll replace the cover this winter as the previous owner messed it up where the diffuser fits.

I was trying to access this old thread because I think it shows the older style clips that my car uses but it was lost with m3forum

http://m3forum.net/m3forum/showthread.php?t=370280

the newer style clips have a hook that goes on a bolt mounted in the fender. Part numbers are
51127896161, 51127896162.

the older clip part number i believe is 51124015053

The hole is on the inside of the bumper cover liner and wouldn’t be visible except I went a little too far. I just need it to last until the weather turns cold and I can replace it. I don’t want to lose it while racing and the last events of the season are coming up.
