Default Audi trim clips - impossible to find

Just a mini rant about Audi parts availability.
I managed to break off my lower front door trim piece. The clips broke.
Audi doesnt sell them separately. Very annoying.



There are some Audi clips for sale on ebay, but of course no clips for D2 as they must be so unique

I was a bit bored so I tried to fix the broken trim clips.
A bit of drilling, sawing and plastic welding later, here is the result.
I used a bit of brass wire, a old rear bumper peg, and those newer Audi clips bougth from Ebay (link in previous post)
Now to see how long it stays on...

Nice fix! If it works well then sell it back to Audi!
