Front Grille clips have broken HELP !!

Post by blunderthumbs » Fri May 07, 2021 4:00 pm

Just purchased some Salberk front grilles. Came to fit them in but a few of the clips/tabs in the bumper have broken. :( Need something to hold them in place. Tried double sided Gorilla tape but not successful. Any ideas would be greatly received. :roll:

On my old z4 I think it had a small bump which broke clips, the grille was secured with black mastic (!)
If the forum helped you, why not help the forum back. Thats the Z4 way! :thumbsup:

Take the bumper off and bond it from the inside... that way you won't have any glue/silicone marks from the outside. Will also mean you can use little clamps (even if they're just bulldog clips).
