Citroen C-Zero Rear Bumper broken clip

Hello,
Came out this morning to find the rear bumper dirty & noticed what looked like a plastic clip sticking out from bottom of boot. On opening discovered one of the plastic clips holding the rear bumper was broken & had come out. The rear reflector was also loose & pushed out on one side. Looks like someone must have reversed into the car whilst it was parked.....

I managed to put the reflector back in place but need to replace the broken plastic clip. Does anyone know if these are easily to buy or will I need to take to garage? Loads of plastic clips on Amazon but they all look different to the ones on the C-Zero.

Thank you.

I did look on eBay but it was hard to tell if the results will actually fit, often it claims the i-Miev ones aren’t compatible. I was hoping to find a parts list somewhere that at least would show the diameter, length etc but no joy yet. The clip on the car is broken so getting an accurate measurement from that is difficult & I didn’t want to mess with the other clips for fear of doing more harm.

Thank you for your help Ian, much appreciated.

Thanks Ian. Unfortunately I discovered after using the car today there is some damage behind the bumper, it looks like the lining under the boot has been torn loose on the right side and is hanging down behind the rear wheel, when you turn it clips the wheel. There is a piece of metal attached to it, so it has sheered off somehow. Not sure how this happened as there is no visible damage to the bumper other than a scratch and and the broken clip. Looks like I will be finding a garage to repair it.

Having taken some pictures underneath the car, I think the piece that came off the underside of the boot may have caused the boot rivet to break &, the reflector to dislodge rather than somebody hitting the bumper.
Not sure if this is something that easily breaks or is a common problem, has anyone see this before?
