They are called fasteners, they can be bought online from places like Craddocks or Paddocks as well as Halfords stores. They provide a fixing point for the screws that hold together the body panels, not expensive, they come in packets and there are various sizes.

I presume you mean the plastic bits that fit into the front panel that the screws go into? And, just to make it more fun, there's three different types used! Land Rover, eh? you gotta love 'em.
Have a look in the parts book if you need the numbers, but otherwise use anything that fits.

Just glue it on with instant gasket. Everyone's using it.

I have it on good authority that Rolls Royce glue all the grills on to their jet engines with this stuff.
