Mounting euro front license trim on euro front bumper

[bradnic]

I know they sell different size clips those look like the smaller ones for the rear rubber

Confirmed, 2 size clips. My fronts were all the large size. My rear parts mounting kit has the smaller size clips for both the front and rear bumper. I was able to make them work here.

the realoem front bumper listing I used show a "Clip", part number 51111838076. This must be the large clip.

the realoem rear bumper listing I'm using shows a different part called "Clamp", 51111867927. It's definitely smaller.



thanks again for your help!

Rock n roll. Levent just mentioned the same thing! Thank you both

Also need to make sure the clip is bent properly. The small barbs in the center section have to stick out a bit so they are caught by the back side of the bumper when installed. you pull the clip through the bumper with a screwdriver or thin pliers:

I know they sell different size clips those look like the smaller ones for the rear rubber , what I normally do is when the bumper is off put the trim on and get behind the bumper put a small screw driver under them and lift on the clip till it clicks in

Having a hard time with the front bumper trim.

pretty clear how to use these bumper trim clips for the center part - they fit well in the plastic. similar clips are used to hold the rear bumper rubber too


Unfortunately they don't fit very well on the ends of the front center trim. they're too small for the plastic mount and too low to stick through to the bumper. even bending the clip won't help.



so how do you mount the ends of the front center trim? anyone know?
