2004 E85 front bumper grill bezel replacement help

[krasi_chobi]

Hello forum,

I did something silly - decided to paint my front bumper which made me realise that the pins holding the kidney grills have a few of them missing. The problem is that I can't find any part number for them. They seem to be separate from the bumper.

Here's a front and back view of the bezels:

Could anyone help?

I think they are part of the bumper hence no separate part number!

There are 2 parts to the grilles, one part on the inside and one from the outside. The two parts clip together, nothing is part of the bumper?

Yeah, the grills fit into the bezels with the clips and the bezels are held on the bumper with different pins and clips to the grills.

You can seen that on the back photo (where the grills are still attached).

It will suck if there is no replacement for the bezels because a few of the pins are missing and the grills are a bit loose. That might be another thread - how to secure the grills when the bezel pins are missing
