Thays brilliant thanks very much, ties up with a part number for a new one on ebay
I dont know if anyone has seen the problem but after les than 28k miles half the retaining fasteners for the undertray and wheel arch protectors are either very loose or missing, a bit pathetic to be honest and I'm sure that's why my undertray came loose and wrecked itself

In general, all the plastic fasteners in the wheel arch area and also bumper areas are very loose on the i20n. Also for me very annoying.
We could sort out little bit thicker clips that fill out the holes more tightly but at this point I am to lazy to do that. But maybe in the future

I'm buying some 6mm U lug captive nuts to replace the 4 front clips and fastening it with socket button head screws and washers.
the only issue is making sure they pull the undertray up flush
U lug nuts
I have learned a new word cool.
In Germany we call them Blechmuttern.
I have some of these in different sizes in sdash, so maybe I sort out some optimizations with them.
You should try grabbing and moving for and back the rear bumper lower section. Crazy how loose this is and imagining it's parachute behaviour on a German Autobahn or racetrack

I've bought the clips specifically for the leading edge fasteners which tbh are pathetic. They work fine having fitted them.
Ive fitted washers and nyloc nuts on the wheel arch studs as the fitted nuts are pathetic
Hi,
so you did replase the yellow marked clips with 6 mm screws/u-lug nuts and it fits well w/o probs?
the other clips you didnt replace?
I think it's a good idea and I will do this with my next oil change this year as a prevention thing
PS: I also replaced some of the cheapy oem fender nuts with washers and nylon nuts (of course no metall nuts to prevent corrosion on the studs). They are that cheapy that they fall off if you hit the fender liners to get little stones out of the fender linders... this is also a problem of the i20 wheel arch areas... little stones everywhere.

Just changed the yellow ones so far. I've used aluminium sheet to repair the undertray front edge to make it driveable until my replacement is delivered. I'll asses the other fittings when I take them off. the nyloc nuts I have used on the arch liners are zinc plated and shouldn't give corrosion issues.
Nylon zinc plated?
I doubt you can zink coat a polymer.
Nylon alone on the steel studs is perfect as there is no abrasion of the stud coating.
Yöu don't want corrosion of the stud as it is welded on the steel body and rust would be a problem.
That's the important point but not the topic
