M7 Aero Ultimate lower grill kit help

If you haven't installed the the M7 Utimate Lower Grill for the R56 Aero kit, http://www.m7tuning.com/parts/produc...roducts_id=124 then read no futher. But, thanks for looking.........

I have the M7 utimate lower grill with the three grills. One for the main area and one each for the fog lights. I got the main grill installed with no issues but due to the lack of any boxed instructions and the lack of an updated tech guide (which I am helping to put together for this for future folks to hopefully use) for the R56, I am having a hell of a time with the fog light grills. I'm sure I am making this ten times harder thanit should be, but I'm stumped. There is no way to get screws through the two attachments from the inside like the main grill. My question is this...do I use two of the screw clips at the attachments points and try to hit them from the outside of the black foglight housing or am I missing something so simple I'm gonna hate myself for not thinking of?

Yes, I have emailed M7 as well, but so far no replies and I am hoping to get this done and installed this weekend. Thanks in advance for your replies.

Those are a real head scratcher. Your on the right track though. Try to hit it from the outside of the housing. I wasn't impressed with the instructions either. They suck! It would be nice to get the rear grille too.
