Help installing mesh front grille?

[TYMl3S]

My '95 M3 front mesh grille arrived recently and I noticed it did not come with any clamps for back side of all four pick up points? Does anyone have a clever means of securing the mesh grille sans glue?

Thanks for the feedback,

I thought they were interchangeable with the slat grille?

They are, you don't need the clamp things. All you have to do is buy those small round clip type things and secure it that way. I believe there are 2 on each side and some on the bottom and top.

can they be taken off the slat type grille? I'm ordering a mesh one tomorrow

Just make sure you order the clips for it too.

anyone got part numbers for the clips?

I think its #10 on that pic. Just go to the stealer and ask them for the little things that hold on the front bumper mesh. They should be able to figure it out.

It is almost impossable to get them off and reuse them. You risk breaking the post. The best way to take them off is to use a Drimmel and carefully cut them off. There are 8 or 10 of them, maybe $2 at the dealer.

Yes, it is # 10.
