There is no ‘rubber’ round the scuttle buttons. It is all plastic. I use Autoglym bumper restorer to keep mine black.

I need a bit of explanation to understand.

You might try heating the clips with a hair drier. Apparently, faded/bleached black plastic trim can be refreshed using a hair drier.

Thanks but the link doesn't work from outside.
I've got this: 'You can't view these order details. To view this information, you must be logged into the guest or eBay account used to purchase this item. See instructions to view guest order details.'

May I ask which is the title (or the name of the item) where you bought it?
Thanks.

Might have been this listing, £10.99 for a set of seven. However listing states posts to UK only, you'd need to see if the seller would post to France.

Cool

Yessss!
I've just found them.
https://www.ebay.fr/itm/Rover-75-MG-...gHuT:rk:1:pf:0
But £11.94 + £7.85 (shipping costs for continent)= £19.79!
For 5 bits of black bird poo that isn't worth the money...
Mind that even Rimmers are selling them £2.30 VAT incl.
I think I'll go for one at Rimmers, plus 2 Retainer-windscreen finishers A post - female - DCC100330 I'm in need of.
Grand total £15.16 VAT + shipping incl.
That will do.
Thanks a lot mates.
EDIT: and painting back mines black...
