How do you replace the grills around the exhaust?



I popped it off to clean it, now I don't know how to put it back on. Could someone tell me how to get this thing back, or at least refer me to a webpage that explains how to do it. Thank you soso much.

Can't really help, but...

can you post a pic of your car without the grilles? I have a PW MCS, and I was thinking about removing those grilles just the other day!

Might be able to help in a couple of days?

I've got the M7 rear grilles on order and when they arrive I should be able to help you.

Shoot, I may even break out the digital camera and do a how-to on the install since it doesn't appear that anybody has.

Hang on and when my grilles come in I'll try to help you. OK?

WONDERFUL! Thank you so much.

be1000n, I will have to get some batteries for my digicam before I can give you some pics.

Its just held on by tabs. Reach up under the car, move the heat sheilding out of the way, and pop em back in.

okay, I didn't know if you could move the heat shield out of the way or not. I had thought about it, but didn't want to mess anything up. Thanks for your help!

I can probably mock it up in Photoshop - when you remove the grilles, is there a hole or just a flat panel behind them? I don't want it to look like they fell off, but if it's just a clean panel I'll probably pop em off.
