JDM Bottom bumper clips (bolts?)
Hey everyone, in need of some quick advice here.
94 GS-R with a JDM conversion done
Today I was backing out of my driveway and the bottom "splash guard" part of the bumper got ripped out by the snow, and is now bent straight down. I know that there was two plastic clips holding this piece up before, but they seem to have been lost in the snowbank somwhere. I was told that these are suppose to actually be 10mm bolts, so I grabbed one off the top of the rad support and it didn't fit (was too small for the hole)
The clips that were in their before were just pushin/pullout types, they didn't have an inside and outside piece to them like the top bumper clips.
I was just wondering what I could use in a pinch to remount the bottom part of the bumper so I don't rip anything off in the next snow bank?
I was thinking it would either be something like this:

Or a 12 mm bolt maybe (where could I grab one from the engine bay in a pinch?)
Edit: The pins were in the blue mounting holes

Thanks for the help!

Re: JDM Bottom bumper clips (bolts?)
For a temp solution, how about zip ties?
If not that, you should be able to find those push in holders at Autozone or equivalant auto store. You're in Canada, so I dont know if you have something like that near by.
