Interesting, today I decided to look at the undertray having sorted out the wheel arch liner the other day.
It looks like the main fixings are secure, nothing moving in the centre, though I can't get underneath to check in detail.
It also appears that the rear of the bumper has been fixed (screws?) across the centre to the front of the undertray. So that is secure if not "correct", anyone know what that "should" be?
But the connection at the bottom of the wheel arches (two each side) has just been lashed with cable ties and is pretty loose! 
Groping around I could feel some sort of retaining clip, but not as large as the ones I ordered as specified above, so I cut the cable ties and had a closer look.
Extracting one of the retainers it was clear it had been broken at some time in the past, so could not do its job as intended - the section that the pin locates in and locks by turning was missing!
But it does confirm that we have identified the correct parts. 
So tomorrow I'll have a go at fitting it all together properly with the correct fasteners. 
See photo which shows the new pin and clip with the old (part-missing) clip alongside.
