door panel 'scrivets' - cheaper alternatives

[scottswatches]

There are seven plastic scrivets (screws + rivets for the hard of thinking) on each door panel, and when i had to drill them out i got a shock from Lotus that they cost £1.89 each plus vat. Being tight and not wanting to pay £24 to replace these i found perfectly servicalbe items from Halfords at £2.49 for 8. Eventually, something cheap in halfords!

Hi Scott

Do you have a bit more information as to whereabouts in Halfords, as I will also be going into my Elan doors soon?

Thanks

Might be these.

However, on my door, most of the plastic panels are fixed using much smaller plastic rivets which have an un-threaded centre part which you just push out and find inside the door later, like this.
