If your only loosing the pin, measure it's diameter then go & buy a plastic knitting needle the same dia. & cut ya own. If you cut it longer & don't poke it in all the way you can then grip it & pull it out & reuse it. Not a pretty option in some cases though.
Here is the type with a screw in centre.

I've come across these holding plastic trim & shields underbonnet that need to be occasionally removed.

As Judo said, do a bulk purchase - or buy them next time you place a UK order for some other part. They are small and light so the freight is minimal. And while you're at it buy a few BTR6682 and EYQ100130 in case you remove the interior panels at the rear in the future. Sometimes (not always) the freight from Rimmer Brothers - Triumph Car Parts, MG Rover Car Parts, and Land Rover Car Parts and Spares can be quite competitive. Other times not.
As others have said, buy them in bulk. I keep 6mm, 8mm and 10mm on the shelf at work in various types. Usually $10 - $15 for 100 of them.
B1/100 - 6mm x 16mm Pack 100 - Scrivet :: Plastic push in Scrivet Clips :: Plastic Clips :: Parts 4 Cars
Looks like good value to me. Although shipping is an extra $15. :mad: $37 inc shipping still looks cheaper than other sites I can find.
Anyone found a better deal?
Not bad for a pack of 20 delivered:
20X Ford Falcon Territory 6mm Plastic Scrivet Clip Retainer Cover V840058STM | eBay
Forget scrivets. They go in easily but they never seem to unscrew.
Try these 3-stage push rivets used on motorbikes. One pushes the pin in to release the clip. Then after removal, push the pin back out ready for reuse.

Those 3 stage jobs look like the ducks nuts.
I'd be down for 60 or so, IIRC each flare has about 12 or so rivets.
If we can find a supplier, and get significant interest I'd be happy to do some leg work about pricing for a bulk buy. Wouldn't need to find many buyers to get a thousand.
You could sling me a 50 pack.
