I did a quick search, here's quite a few threads about the Vango canopy

Was it these clips?

I'm going to try putting this type of clip onto the ends of the guys that normally go diagonally over the side door, and attaching it to one of the flexipoles instead so it doesn't obstruct the door. I don't know if these are the correct size though. I'd prefer black ones too.

ohhh thats them! OH thinks i'm making it up. Do i attach them to some straps and then sew them onto the canopy?

No - you'd use 'magic eyelets' (ebay about £7 for 10 pack) or 'clingons' for the end that holds on to the canopy. They are essentially the same thing. Then you can use either straps or a guy rope.

I think your canopy has some straps or guys already attached though, so you wouldn't need to do anything other than just add the c clips to the end of them.

Also, check the size of your flexipole before you order the c clips, the ones I linked too may not be the right size. I keep intending to do this but unfortunately the poles are in the middle of my rolled up tent and I haven't got round to it yet. I think having c clips that are a little bit too big will still be effective but one's that too small will be a waste of your money.
