Recently bought an R53 JCW, with aero front bumper (which I love). Upon removing the bumper for a rad fan swap, I noticed it was attached purely by the 4 upper bolts (the 2 horizontal Torx bolts and the 2 vertical Hex bolts). The lower edge was completely loose. It should be connected to 2 little "spoilers", which connect the bumper to the MFE thinger, at 3 locations each. And there is also a central fastener which should link it directly to the MFE/rad shroud. I still have the little spoilers connected to the MFE (good job, since they are NLA), but am trying to figure out which fasteners I need to buy, to connect them to the bumper cover. 2 of the fasteners to the spoilers are the "pin type", like the ones that attach the radiator. The 3rd is a panel clip, which uses a self-tapper. For the single bolt in the center, that goes up into the MFE/shroud: that appears to be an M6 panel clip. Are these pretty universal (metric) trim fasteners that I can find at an auto parts store?
