Default STR plastic supercharger cover

Where can I source the 4 rubber plugs that hold the plastic cover on top of the supercharger?
I also need 4 x plastic scrivet plug/screws that hold the plastic skirt across the top-front of the motor when the bonnet is raised

I'll go to this place near me I believe I've seen the plug/screws in the second pic there and let you guys know if I find them.

A jag franchise will likely have one or both of them at a "reasonable" price.

My local Jaguar franchise claims it can only supply the rubber plugs as part of the kit which includes the plastic cover - "reasonable price" I don't think so !
They struggle to find any part number for the plastic scrivets!

They can supply the latter, I'm fairly sure, as my local place thought they were what I wanted at one time. Are they maybe in http://www.drivehq.com/web/jfenley/P..._2000-2005.pdf

The local Pep Boys carries a wide assortment of various plastic and metal fasteners. Take one of your originals with you and you'll probably find something that will work for you. Advance Auto Parts and Autozone probably carry them as well. I'm assuming you have at least one of these chain retailers in New Zealand. If not, sorry to have wasted your time....

Sorry guys I tried NAPA and Lowes (sells different automotive fastners in the hardware department). NAPA would be your best bet you arent gonna find the exact ones but they should have some plastic rivets that will work. I found some that were pretty close but mine wouldnt let me try them out on my car without buying them.
Was gonna try a salvage yard but they were closed. I've seen the second picture part on various other cars. Just got to go and see if they will let you look around and see if you can find them. I believe that part is a Ford part cause they were on my Mercury that I used to have also.

Thanks guys for your continued help - especially Jon89, Jagv8 & Vance 580.
We don't have those motor parts chain stores in NZ & I have tried our local Supercheap Auto chain - no luck.
I will try the Ford franchises & maybe jag dismantlers elsewhere.
I'll let you know if I am successful.

I've done a little research on the clip in the second pic. I have found that it looks very very similar to the clips for my Mercury I used to have so checking out pics and Ford parts websites. If you have some salvage yards in New Zealand not sure if you have Crown Victorias or Grand Marquis but looking some engine bay pics of them it looks like they have the same clips on them. I found out its called a sight shield clip. Try a local Ford dealer and see if they have any in stock for a 03-04 Crown Vic or Grand Marquis and see if they will let you test fit it. I'll try and get up to my Ford dealership tomorrow and see if I can get them and if they fit I'll post up a part#.





I've also just found this which is the actual part for the Jaguar. It shows it for the 3.0 but the clips will be the same across the board. If you cant find the salvage yard you can always just get new here.

The second picture is a standard Ford part. Jaguar Part #XR812941 $2.25 each. Ford part # W706519-S300 $3.12 each. Known as "Radiator Sight Shield Push Type Retainer". They are always torn up by somebody taking that shield off without knowing they unscrew and are not pried off!!

Sorry I don't have a part number for the SC cover.

Cool thanks clubairth1 you saved me some work. I'm going up to my dealer tomorrow still since I am missing one. That link I provided is a vendor and you can get the clip for .10 cents cheaper.
