Aero Sills HELP!

i bought a pair of aero sills for my Z4 but they havent come with any additional parts... i was reading the thread in the DIY section for installing the sills and it states that bayonet fasteners are required. I was hoping i could re-use all the parts from my original sills but the thread states these can only be used once. Could someone please clarify if i require new ones and also what they look like?

When I put my Aero Sills on, I reused the ones that came off the car. The ones that came with them are still in the box.

The fasteners are one use only. They may appear to be intact when removed, but they're significantly weakened once you pop them off. You can try and re-use them, but I wouldn't be surprised if in 12 month they start to come loose.

Been 11 months and 15K miles so far. Hopefully they don't fall off next month...

They are 18"x8.5. If you do a search you will find some more pics.

These were taken from my phone.
