I used normal (wide) aluminium ones since ford had discontinued moondust silver rivets and I had no problem at all(aluminium rivets are very soft and don't damage the skirt and you can paint them after installing with a fine brush-thats what I did).

Ford also do them funnily enough:P

You can still get the actual colour coded ones that go in the top of the skirts, you see them with the doors open.

Coloured ones are 1656339 (for my moonstone ones, not sure if different colours are different FINIS)
Small black ones are 6145727 (For the sideskirt spacers)
Larger black ones are 6869991
