I have some plastic fixings on my bike fairing and I need some more. No end of searching is helping. The picture shows them, but basically they are 5mm diameter plastic rivets with a spring washer. If all else fails I will get some black button heads.

Anybody know what they might be called or even better where I might get some?

The metal clips are called star locks
The plastic rivets might be specific to the bike but try looking for push rivets.

The metal part is called a fixing washer ( beat to it, i guess thats just my name for it then, used a fair bit in rc cars)
I assume the other liturally is just a plastic rivet?

I may be wrong here, but to me those look like they may once have been normal trim clips that have broken and had star locks fitting to them? I don't deal with bikes so have no clue but these are the clips I mean

Thanks for you help everyone. The metal clip was easy, but no joy on the plastic rivet. I have put black button heads in now. It looks like hey are Aprilia specific, but Aprilia parts are not easy to get either.
