Hi crowbar,
just looking through the parts manual, Rares have not called these by there original part number so I suspect that they are not quite exactly the same as the original.

The original part number is #4562113

The next pictures show where those type of clips are used.

I know this doesn't solve your problem, I hope that rares would appreciate the feedback to get them so they are fit for purpose.

Hi crowbar. I purchased a set of these just after they came on the market - probably 18? months ago. They were fine. No problem at all fitting them. I wonder if there's been a change in manufacturer??  ???
Cheers, Ken.

This could get you on the road 'til you find the clips . I just cut pieces of plastic and using small bolts [stainless] ,put them in place and slid the badges left and right so the centre emblem locks them in place . Just an idea short term [think I sold my FE with them still there ].
