An integrated clip (10) for a component, e.g. an automotive trim panel (11), includes a shaft (12) located within an opening (19) in the panel; and a head (13). Engagement of the clip occurs by virtue of levers (14) hingedly attached to the shaft and to legs (17) by hinges (15, 16). The head also includes an engagement means (23) to engage and lock with a channel (24) on the underside (18) of the component. Three levers and legs may be used ( Fig. 1D ). The engagement means may comprise three lips or ridges (23) on flanges (22), and may be disengageable. The levers (14) may pass through an over-centre condition as the clip is engaged. At least one end of each lever may comprise a chamfer; while each leg may comprise a formation (25, Fig. 3 ) for engaging a second component (C, Fig. 3 ).
