Clips for bumper replacement

Not diesel specific, but need help.

1998 W210 E300

I'm replacing the front bumper after an encounter with a road alligator (shreded semi-tire carcass).

I went to this link:http://www************//oemcatalog/index.cfm?action=getPartLocator&siteid=2&chapter=&Sectionids=0,2276&groupid=51817&subgroupid=3381&componentid=0&makeid=67&model=E%20Class&year=1998&graphicID=5716010&callout=15&catalogid=2&displayCatalogid=0

I need the big parts, #23 and #11. I also need to replace the chrome bumper trim, right side #15. What I don't know is how many of the clips I need. They are cheap enough I'll just order all new ones for the job, but it would be nice knowing if I need 4 or 40. I don't want to pull the bumper off until I get the new one painted up/ready to go, and don't have the luxury of keeping the car off the road waiting on some clips.

I believe I need:

Clip #17 - quantity ? - secure the right side chrome trim
Clip #12 - quantity ? - secure the front bumper trim.

I'm also assuming that the bumper cover itself is secured to the chassis by a few bolts at the front, I believe I was sent those with my replacement cover. Luckily my fog lights and the mounts survived the hit. My side marker lights, did not...so I need those too.
