Bumper removal..broken clips!!

Having picked my facelift rear bumper up from the paint shop it seemed a good idea to make a start and fit it whilst the weather was nice. Undid the lower bolts and the wheel arch clips but then disaster. I wasn't sure about the black plastic trim that's hidden when the boot is closed so gently prised it with a flat blade which gave reassuring clicks all the way along only to find I'd just snapped all the clips off :headbang:
If anyone has a spare please let me know otherwise it's Sopers Monday morning
Does the bumper normally just pull out of this trim? And the new one simply push back under it?
 
You are not meant to touch that bit, it stays on the car. Just the two rivots in each wheel arch and the 7 or so bolts on the underside of the bumper to undo.

All clips and fittings stay attached the the wings etc.

Hate to think what this plastic part is going to cost
