I am starting to sort out the many boxes of parts that came with my car. Some new, some old, and some.... well, I have no idea.
Can anyone help identifying these parts please. Banana for scale.

David, they are used to hold the long chrome trim along the bonnet. They slide along the slot in the chrome then slide down between the centre and outer sections of the bonnet. When all properly in place they are bent over to hold the chrome trim in place.
By the way, is that an imperial standard size banana or a metric one?

Thank you Geoff, expect more posts of a similar nature!
That is a good question regarding the banana. It is an imperial car, but i live in a metric country, hence the use of a banana for scale. :)
