Question Help with bumper clips

I recently removed my headlights following the manual and during the process noticed one of the metal bumper mounting clips on the side was stripped. I wish to replace it when I re-mount my headlights but it doesn't look like any of the online parts diagrams has it listed. I have attached an image of the clips circled in yellow I am referring to, if anyone could provide me with a part number for these I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you!

Hi,

These clips will likely be hard to find from Jaguar, short of calling a Dealer Parts Department. They are, however, pretty generic Auto Body Clips and easy to find even at local hardware or auto shops. You just need one that fits the threads of that fastening bolt. I would take the bolt with me to an auto store or hardware store, and just get a few that match....very easy to find. Here is an example of a similar clip at Lowe's....Not that this is your exact one...but just showing they have them in assorted sizes. LINK HERE . I have several hundred of these in various assortments I bought on eBay, so when I do break or lose one, I can usually find a suitable replacement. Good luck.

I was actually able to find the part number for them and have a request in to Brit-Car to see if they're available for purchase, but you are probably right, they are just generic. For those interested the part number is

The generic name for this type of clip is "Tinnerman nut" or "Tinnerman clip"... they're a very common clip, widely available in a variety of sizes.
