Does anyone know where I can get a generic resuable zip tie that clips to the bodywork like those used to hold the loom in place? I've had a search but can't find anything but that's probably as I don't know what to call them

I use velcro loops for my cables

Have you ever taken a wing or the bumper off and seen the cable ties that have a split style clip that pushes through a hole to hold it to the car while it holds the loom for the lights etc in? There a load of them all up the inside of the inner wing, a couple across the front and a few others inside the engine bay
