at least one body shell profile having a side facing said at least one interior fitting and a side facing away from said at least one interior fitting; and

at least one fastening element holding and connecting said at least one interior fitting on said at least one body shell profile;

said at least one fastening element having a clip section slipped onto said at least one body shell profile and clamping said at least one fastening element onto said at least one body shell profile;

said clip section having a first internal clip surface resting in planar manner on said side of said at least one body shell profile facing said at least one interior fitting;

said clip section having a second internal clip surface disposed opposite said first internal clip surface and resting in a punctiform or linear manner on said side of said at least one body shell profile facing away from said at least one interior fitting.

at least one fastening element holding and connecting said at least one interior fitting on said at least one body shell profile, said at least one fastening element having a bearing plate on which said at least one interior fitting rests;

said at least one fastening element having a clip section slipped onto said at least one body shell profile and clamping said at least one fastening element onto said at least one body shell profile;

a spacer element interconnecting said bearing plate and said clip section;

said at least one interior fitting being clamped between said bearing plate and said clamping plate;

at least one of said bearing plate or said spacer element having a thread formed therein; and

a screw screwed into said thread.

7. The vehicle body according to claim 6 , wherein said at least one interior fitting forms a covering part of the vehicle body.
