Driver side air intake grill fell off
As the title says. Luckily I was parked so still have it.

Seems like it was glued but only in one place around the perimeter.

What kind of glue would be best to glue it back on?

Would Sikaflex be appropriate?

Hi there, There should be little pins on the grille that push into holes on the wing to hold it in place but they break easily and the grille falls off as a result. Sikaflex would be ideal for sticking it back on as there is no point in buying a new one as it would eventually fall off as well! Smile

Thanks, this seems to cost only a little more than a tube of Sikaflex....

Yes! That would be a good excuse to buy a modified one! Laughing
