Removing the number plate backing trim today, the little 2-part rectangular clips had gone brittle and snapped. Can anyone help me identify and replace them?

Also the nut/bolt arrangement on the bumper guide/clip/bracket (?) has rusted to hell, probably have to drill them out, anybody know the part numbers at all or where I might find them?

I've been using realoem.com for part numbers thus far, is there a UK/euro version?

There's no price listed on realoem but I've bought some in the past and they're pence. The bumper parts are here https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/showpa ... Id=51_0555

Cheers!

Is there an easy way to find cheap alternatives to crazily-priced parts that should cost pence? Using part numbers to find they want £5 for a single nut etc is a bit insulting and time-consuming.
Can anyone help with this please?
