There should be four of these clips that hold the mesh on after you put it in place. It is VERY easy.

But if you have that black protection housing behind the grill you have to either remove that or get around it. __________________ Live Everyday As If Its Your Last A friend is someone who is willing to step into a flame to save you........aka a 318ti | | | 07-22-2007, 11:21 PM | #7 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2007 Location: chicago Posts: 172 | my lower grille is held together by 8 clips, two on each side. the nipples are on the bumper and the grille had mounting holes that the nips went through. put on clips, done. removing the clips from the original grille might be a pain. careful not to rip the nips. | | | 07-23-2007, 12:54 AM | #8 | Senior Member Join Date: May 2007 Location: LA, Bellflower, CA Posts: 3,613 | Thanks guys. Already gotten it taken care of. Put it on this afternoon. Took awhile cuz the original grill was held on by some kind of silicone glue, looked like someone cut it out or cracked it and put it back on. But anyway the new mesh grill is on. will post of pics of it later. | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | Similar Threads | Thread | Thread Starter | Forum | Replies | Last Post | money money money...MONEY | sydeshow | Lounge | 4 | 10-22-2004 06:24 AM | |
