hey,
my Tg grill has lost its plastic clips that hold it into place (as i expect most have) and i was just wondering how every one gets theirs looking straight and held in place.
The two ends dont want to stay in place, should i heat em up and bend them to suit?
Its currently held in with cable ties, but i dont want this as i want it to look pretty sweet, without daggy cable ties all over the place. |

My TE only has 2 original clips, holding the grill on, and if you can spot a cable tie from 2 feet i'll give you $50 if you hide them properly you can tell the difference, except cable ties will hold it tighter and better than the clip ever did, just cut them off real short.
That just my opinion though....
Cheers, Simmo. |

u can get slightly bigger grille clips that are identical to the standard size ones, put those in and the grille shouldnt move at all |

what I did with mine you can get these plasic clips that fit in the hole of the body with a flat face and a screw hole in it then I filed down the lugs on the back of the grille so the the grille sat flat again against the body and screwed it into place. |
