2.5 16V 190E bodykit conversion

I lately bought from a wreck shop a full set of Cosworth body kit for my 190E. I have trouble finding the full set of clips that go with it. A shop quoted me RM1300 (USD371) for the set and I thought it was a rip off when the kit only cost me USD 250. Can anyone advise please.............???

Dealership will charge you around USD 200 for all clips.

you can always ask people to find some at the junkyard for you. But aged plastic clips dont necessarily hold well.
