Default How's Your "Air Scoop" Attched

I recently got my car back from the shop after having the front end repaired. I'm vary wary of the quality of work the body shop did. I took my engine covers off for the first time and the way the air scoop was attached didn't look right to me. I'd like some confirmation that this is the correct way: plastic clip on one side 10mm bolt on the other.

Well when I first bought the car all the clips were like that. Now I have no less then 3 different types of clips holding the engine covers on.

Thanks for all the replies.
