Excellent thanks for taking the time to take the pic Tim. One more thing, how many roughly do I need ?

28 I think , if you go to motosave  ask for discount for buying in bulk I did and got them abit cheaper,  keep us posted and don't hesitate to ask for help.

Once you've got the clips it's easy enough to do .

Thanks for the help people.

It took all of 2 hours start to finish and really was easy, I ordered 30 expanding rivets off eBay and that is all that was needed.

It looks so much better now which is more than I can say for myself after somehow stabbing myself badly in the lip with a screwdriver and chipping my tooth lol.
