There is a spring clip, stainless I think, that serves to hold the plastic cover to the aluminum bar in the assembly. Part # 811807249B . I shouldn't think you'd need that unless you've had the bar separated from the plastic???? Under a buck at http://www.genuinevwaudiparts.com
But if you haven't had it apart and your bumper is sagging at one corner, it'll probably be falling off soon. The corrosion eats through the aluminum where the steel fasteners go to the fixture that holds the whole shebang on on each side. That's the aluminum with the steel fixture. I used some large washers to reinforce the bar, but I broke several of those clips taking it apart, so I used a carriage bolt on each end to hold the plastic cover to the aluminum bar. Tacky but it's on for another few years.

How are you "lost"? What makes you think you need bumper clips? Is your bumper sagging? Then it's probably the fastener corrosion issue I mentioned above.
V8 fender will bolt right onto where your 200 fender bolts EXCEPT for the bottom of the fender behind the wheelwell and the bottom of the fender at the front. V8 fender is cut off some at each end. So, NO, IT WILL NOT WORK.
A 5K/200 10-valve fender will fit, but will look strange.
Is the metal ripped? I had a very skilled body kid take a crimp out of the flare of a 200q20v front fender where it had been creased.
What's your location? There may be fenders available near by.
