I was looking on e bay this morning for the plastic rivets.
There is a seller in the North who will only post to UK.
Ive tried phoning and e mail, with no responce.
Does any one have a contact ?
Mazda UK is twice the price of e bay !

Hi,
Not sure which particular type of rivet or fastner you need but I replaced some of the fastners in the boot with ones from Halfords - not expensive.
Maybe bringing one in to a good motor factors would source what you need?

Got the ones from Halfords last time I was up there,
but they are not the right size for the job. I'm looking for the 9/10 mm
wheel arch cover rivets.

I don't think they are called rivets....
Are you talking about these fastners

Thanks again Fergus...
1.60 is a bit steep.
I'm trying to find them cheaper, so I can replace them all.

Yeah it's a bit saucy
Give Robert in Swords a call, he may have some as he breaks a 5 every now and again 086 8226506.

They can be used over and over yes
You just have to be careful taking them out.

Probably says more about my state of mind while I was dismantling the things
