Default front spoiler coming loose on sides

I have a ba fpv pursuit ute. (woohoo!) One owner, and the guy I bought it off had the front spoiler repainted before he sold it to get rid of stone chips and a mark some idiot he lent the car to put in it.

The sides of the front spoiler are coming away a bit. Just under the headlight to the wheel arch. I had to replace a bonnet cable once so I can figure out I need to pull the wheel arch splash guards off to get to it, but what are the clips called? There is a triangle shaped block that the side of the spoiler mounts onto, but it looks like the panel beaters did not put the clips securing it back in.

What are the clips called?

Thanks.

Sometimes all the front bumper edges need to relocate on the bumper mounts is to be pushed inwards and down to reattach along the side where the spoiler meets the front guard. http://www.google.com.au/imgres?q=ba...23&tx=84&ty=95
Front bumper side support bracket.

No worries mate. It is really easy to dislodge the front bar accidentally.
