Default Front clip question

Hi guys on my civic the guy before me rigged up stuff on it and I have a few questions. First where in the world do I find the plastic things that hold in the bumper and the grille. I cant find any that fit properly. Im guessing I just havnt used the right ones on it. And my second question is how in the world do I mount the bottum of the grille to the bumper. Do I have to remove the bumper to do this because there is no way my hands can reach back there and put in screws or w.e holds it together.

im guessing this is on an ek? Go to your local junkyard and pick up some of the clips off another car, the way i mounted my grill to my bumper is when i had it off i screwed them together with a small screw and it did the job

what is wrong with used clips? if its a show car then i could understand using brand new clips. As long as none of the clips are broken they will hold the bumper, its not like they are holding alot of weight

Im just sayin I would buy new ones cause if the used ones arent broken yet they will soon (like the next time you want to take it apart). But thats just me. Good luck anyway...
