I'm after all sorts of them, for the bin golf club ends, frunk and wheel arch liner, exterior sill edges which has a plastic trim running along the rear end. Do Toyota do a mixed bunch of them all does anyone know?
Ex owners of Chilli red facelift 52 reg called Chilli, silver 55 reg called Foxy and blue pfl W reg MR-S called Sapphire. Now 2 less!

Look on vehicleclips.co.uk
Or just get a mixed selection of Toyota clips off amazon or fleabay, the storage bin end caps are a bit 2 specific but you can replace them with other styles.

Vehicleclips as above. I prefer not to buy " assortments of anything ( except perhaps Liquorice!) as I find there are lots that I don't need and not enough of those I do.
I have a large tin of assorted wood screws collected over a long period of time but I seldom find enough of the type I need.
Buy just a few more clips than you need and you'll soon have a tin of clips like my screws!

Interesting that the Vehicle Clips link doesn't do the Mk3 only Mk2, I suspect they'd be similar I suppose.

The roadster shares many clips with the Avensis as well, standard Toyota money saving practice.

My guess would be that clips are used across models in a manufacturer's range and across manufacturers.
Another Toyota model of similar years old manufacture to our 2's May use the same clip.
All of the clips seem to have clear photographs and some have dimensioned drawings.
A browse through could be more interesting than some TV programmes.

I was with you until I read the uses for the various clips on "common cars" and "ordinary cars". Surely our cars are uncommon  and far from ordinary!

They are far from ordinary. They are however made from ordinary bits.
I suppose I'd consider it to be similar to good food. All food is made from the same basic ingredients, but the quality of preparation and the way it's put together produce a very different dish....!😉

Indeed, also consider the human form!

We all have noses mouths and eyes etc but some of us are prettier than others.
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Ebay "227sparts". I emailed them over MR2 trim clip sizes and they supplied all the correct ones.
