Some of you may know I'm installing a pair of Ferrari 348 seats in my car.
I've stripped them down and dyed them - I'm pretty pleased with them so far
In stripping them down I managed to break one of the fixings - it's a plastic stud (this isn't the broken one - it's the one from the other side)
Any idea where I might get one - or something similar (it holds a side trim piece in place so doesn't have to hold much weight
The simple things you see are all complicated
I look pretty young but I'm just backdated yeah

Just looks like a modern barbed door card clip to me. Halfords have a selection.
(That's the second post I've made tonight with the H word in. Help me!)

As the guys above said it's a pretty standard trim clip. I'll have a look what I've got in the garage if you don't get to Halfords in the meantime!

Thanks Gary
Can't find it on the halfords site - will look again
I think the Wurth one is exactly right - but "make enquiry" and "contact us for price" don't inspire confidence - what happened to "buy it now"
I reckon the woo lies one would fit
Andy if you've got a couple that would be brill - please let me know
Thanks for all the prompt help - impressive stuff

If no others find some, I have an old margarine tub full of them - same as those, but black, and light grey I think, and also the ‘christmas tree’ ones which do not have the concertinaed gaps in the centre.
Pretty standard fit as most have said already especially French and German cars to hold bits of plastic trim on panels

If ALL that falls through, try Skiffy (Google them) they specialise in this kind of thing, probably supply most of the above people.
Halfords? Only works if it is in a tin or a bottle IMHO from recent visits..

Managed to have a quick look in the garage before heading up to Chesterfield - the ones I found turned out to be quite different from the version you're looking for ...
