Clips are prone to breakages no matter how careful you are.

Most clips are pluged in and you need 2 flat thin screwdriver to pry the central poart out to get the clips off. Some requires the central screw to be loosened slightly for removal.

They are commonly known as bumper clips and can be obtained from parts outlets. There are different sizes so it is best to get a sample to show the parts guy.
