Default Replacing sill chrome trim

Just had a full respray on my 03 CDT and I took as much trim off as possible before it went. To get the sill trims off I slid them towards back of car over the clips and then took clips off. I was going to reuse some of them again but they seem slightly smaller than the holes in the body and feel looser than before. Should there be some kind of insert for the holes that the clips go into? Should I insert the clips, spaced correctly, into the trim and then push the trim straight on rather than sliding it over the clips when they are in the body? Sliding the trim over the clips method seems likely to cause scratches in my new paint.
Been to local Halfords for something to stick the 75 numbers back on and they've suggested the tape meant for number plates but the numbers originally had a black sticky foam type stuff on but I'm not sure where to get it.
Any advice welcome and hope this is the right section for my questions as its to do with bodywork.
