Clips! Clips! Clips! The bane of every second hand honda owner.

[shiroitenshi]

Let's see.. you bought your car second hand.. fixed it up, and then you stumble upon some issues on your car.. THE CLIPS ARE MISSING!!

In my case.. out of 14 bloody side skirt clips.. only 3 are present.. WARGH!! !@#$!@#$! :P

So, I went and bought original honda clips for the side skirts.. I managed to locate them after going to like 4-5shops... and they don't even have the complete set!!!

I got them for 6 bucks each, so you can see how those will add up.

So..... I've been thinking about using clips from other makes, but the search is still ongoing.. So how do you guys adapt?

So far, I've located some fender clips for my EG, which in my opinion is better than the original because they're the push type, and they're easy to install (and remove if need be... ) I forgot which car make they're from, so I'll update later.

NOW to the main question at hand..

Do you use original clips? And if not, what suitable ones did you find?

Hopefully as this thread progresses, we can have sources for each old school honda models (EF, EG, EK)

Yeah.. usualllah.. but thing is.. most of the clips also near 'gone case'. I remember my fender liners... use halfcut shop clips.. two came off and my fender liner touched the tire... and bye bye fender liner.. (>_
So now I'm sticking to new clips.. :P

The earliest EK just turned 10 this year.. so.. old school lah.. :P

Thanks meor.. I'll drop by LHS once I find the time.

Manage to buy some at hardware shops near Jaya Supermarket at SS14 PJ, OEM ones are cheaper. Ori Honda clips cost a bomb.
