Probably available from numerous places but Roger Bray has them:

Part no. 999.507.220.40 - also used on 911/912 models for the bumper end caps ...

I think that is the cap and I need the push nut. Seems they are available from a few sources. I wonder what diameter?

Someone else used theseImage

I think you'll find a previous owner has used those instead of the original fasteners.

The ones in your picture are called spire nuts/clips - easily found on ebay (or in many hardware stores - if they still exist !) ...

Thank you everyone for your help. I got the grill back on and I bought a better seal from ebay. Then I got a local body shop to realign the engine lid. They had to reweld the left hinge.
