Over time I seem to have lost the screw things that hold the bumper and tyre wall pieces onto the car itself.  Just a few, so little bits of various bumper bits stick out.

 

Can someone tell me what they are called so I can look for them, or recommend where to go to get them.   Also, are they standard sizes? or will it depend on my car (2005 Toyota Avensis)

 

Thanks

They could be a combination of plastic or metal clips and actual screws,  they all vary depending on the brand and model, 

 

You best bet is to have a look at what is holding up the same bit of the bumper on the other side of the car, if its a screw then take it out and head off to a screw shop (Bunnings/M10 or a specialist fastener supplier) 

 

Another place to go is a wreckers or pick-a-part place and see if they can help you out....

I had this issue on our Nissan Tiida and a friendly panelbeater helped by popping some replacement clips in place for a few bucks...literally a few bucks.
