Jim, I'm sure I did something similar as my knee panel was missing multiple fixings. Good solution and very well documented.

Edit: And indeed I did, in a thread contributed to by your good self, this was my solution - fixed to the ventilation duct (not the side panel). http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/showpost....5&postcount=13
(Sorry about the lack of detail and poor picture but this was secondary to the main problem of the missing upper fixing in this thread; http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/showthread.php?t=9682 )

Speed Clips are the things you referred to and I decided to use the ventilation duct as it was sturdier and especially because it meant removing the side panel would be easier in future.

And as I mentioned earlier in that thread:

I'm now making a bracket for the bottom left corner, from a blanking plate from the back of a PC, to fix to that square downward vent.
So I didn't even need to buy a bracket.
