Default well failed my mot today, gutted is an understatement

basicly its my 1990 rs turbo that ive been doing up for over a year.i had only just finished putting it all back together and the one thing i was missing was the little silver clip that holds the nearside front indicator to the wing.
the test was going fine untill the tester was checking everything was secure properly and thats when he found the indicator.he commented on how clean the car was which i was chuffed about.
ford dont do the clips so was wondering if anyone has some ndicators they dont use and wouldnt mind sending the clip to me, id even pay you for it just want to get my free retest.thanks for any help keiran

I'd just secure it with whatever you can get your hands on(string, wire, gaffa tape) then bang it in for retest and worry about finding a clip later.
