Whats this fastener commonly called?

I cant get a pic of it cause I left my camera at work, but it is the connector that allows the undertray/lip to bolt to the front bumper (of an FD). Its like a flat piece of springy steel, bent in half, and has a nut welded on one half of it. It clips onto the bumper and has two sharp little tangs on it that hold it in place once its pushed onto the edge of the bumper over an existing hole. Bout an inch long and 1/2inch wide

I need a few, but cant seem to find them and dont know the common name - maybe its weird ( Ever asked for plumbers tape? it aint sticky )

Tks for any help

I've heard of those being referred to as "spring clips", and "clip nuts".
