Replacing Grille Trim with Broken clips

Replacing Grille Trim with Broken clips
Good morning
So last summer I removed my grille trim and plasti-dipped it black. Like a total noob of course I broke a few clips from the top piece. It has been holding on for dear life just fine. Many car washes and many Rallies later, it looks like its coming off. I was driving spiritedly and the trim was flying and holding on to my car.
Anyways, I've decided to stop being a cheap *** and I'm gonna buy these guys. My question is, will I need replacement clips for the ones I broke on the car?
I saw some "clip replacement kits" over at OutMotoring. The kits came with clips and other items. They had a Kit A and Kit B not sure if I should pick one up.
Anyone here replaced broken clips?
thanks

Look at the pics on the back, it comes with clips for the top on the hood. The bottom comes with built-in tabs
