Thanks  I will order from VC and get clips for all including the ones front and back 

I have an extra set of rear bumper brackets the ones that fasten to the frame to hold the bumper FREE if any one needs them 

Can not find in the Bentley   the rubber pads in the lower entry step of the front doors so I know what to call them etc 

 I would like to replace mine if possible 

thanks
