Fixing kidney grills

[MalNCH]

Just changed my grills to chrome/silver and on removing the old passenger side one I've discovered it is held in with silicone as all but 2 bumper clips are broken. I've held the new one in with double-sided tape for now. Any one know of a better fix?

Without stating the obvious I suggest clear silicone Was The best idea

The clips are around the edge of the grille itself, not in the bumper orifice. Do you mean that the lip around the orifice is damaged ? :?

There's clips in the bumper that the ones on the grill snap over..... Pic from net, exactly like mine, or it would be if they weren't broken.

Wow ! If they're broken what have they been doing ? The ones on the grille are much more brittle and the usual culprits

As per my initial post, I didn't break them, a previous owner did.
