Bit of a random one - I need to refit the black blanking plate under the headlight on my M-sport bumper.
Initially I thought it would be a one minute job , but looks like the undertray may have to come off to fit it properly?
Anyone done this and any advice?

It is the black blanking plate directly under the nsf headlight.

It has a number of push fit mouldings which locate raised areas in the bumper itself but there is also a tab in the middle that looks like it needs a pin or clip to secure - this part causes a problem with aligning / pushing in

Hope that is clearer !
 
Looks like I’m not describing this very well!

Look at the nsf headlight - down below is a large black blanking plate almost the same size as the headlight
 
I took those off along with the middle bit at same level to gloss black them a while ago, I put the two side bits back first by putting my hand in the empty middle hole . Then , once the middle section was back inside the bumper, I used an L Shape puller on each side of the middle grill to pull it back into the clip holders
 
Great thanks
I have tried some cable ties looped through either side but lining it up properly is still a mare - it’s the big ‘A loop’ protruding part in the middle that’s causing the problem - I can’t work out where it seats/located.

I’ll start taking other parts off to get better access at the weekend
