As title says, need a bit of help sizing up the push clips for the wheel arch trim. Took the arch trim off and the clips broke off. Thanks in advance

They’re actually rivets. I believe these are them.

Tried similar but they just pushed straight through.
The ones removed were slightly different again.
However the ones I used secured them real tight.

No amateur unfortunately. Probably why they pushed through. 😂 not amassed a great collection of tools as yet.
Luckily what I used has secured them well. The original clips where very similar to what I used.
Pics attached of the mudguards now fitted.
You can see the clips I used. Also used some strong 3M tape behind them to add to the 3 clips.

You need the rivet tool to install those, I bought a kit off a Mac tool truck for big bucks a few years back but now you can get the same tool from Harbor Freight for 15 dollars. No reason not to get this to put those back on.
