Default loose hood louvers 2011 XKR 175

Where can I purchase a few extra spring clips to hold the hood louvers in place. A few are missing at this time, may be due to age or other unknown factors. If someone out there among my Jaguar brothers knows of a supplier and/or part number, I would appreciate the advice.
Cheers

Found these on e-bay, i think the bottom clip is the one you want, looks the same, any pics of your car.

I also have a 175 and had the same problem. A better solution is to take all the clips off, clean the hood contact portion with the louvers with goof off(and let dry), DO NOT Polish and use 3M double sided tape in all the possible contact areas, and firmly press it in. You now have a rattle free solid adhesion and clips are not needed.

I believe part number C2P8074 should work.

Glue them in? I remove them every time I wash the car so I can clean under them!

The mina cf vents are put in with double sided sticky. I'm waiting on mine to be delivered.
