Part # help - small metal clips that hold on center mesh to RS4 bumper.

8D9 853 645 A - seems to be RS4-specific since it does not come up on online dealer part sites.

don't waste your time....

those clips suck. Just glue it on, a drop around each tab works forever.

Hmmmm.......I guess I could try doing a bit of 2 part epoxy.

My bumper was kinda beat up when I got the car 18 months ago & I had it resprayed. It was held on by only 4 of the clips & they were holding really well.

I had put a spot of glue on some spots but if there was a bit of flex, the glue would crack. It would flex when I would lightly scrape in a gutter, etc.
