123 front grill

Hello Members

Does anyone have a picture of how the front grill goes together from the back side.I only have a 126 to go by.There seems to be a lot more clips on the 126.


Thanks in advance.

Benjira

It's dark out so a picture wouldn't turn out so well right now. If you can wait about 10 hours then I can take a picture.

Here are a couple, the first one is obvious.
The second pic looks like it's missing a screw, that is the top most clip on the drivers side.

The rest of the pics won't load, I'll try again later.
On mine, the middle attachment point does not have a screw, designed that way.
The lower side mount does have a screw and rubber clip.
The very bottom in the middle has a sheet metal screw.

In addition, there are two fasteners one on top and one below. A philips screw below and an 8mm nut on top. The chrome strips just slide outwards from the plastic grille.

The lower side mounts have an opening for two screws, that hold the rubber tabs that prevent the grille from scratching the panel under the headlights on the inboard side, when closed.

Ah, the top side mounts screw into the hood, which is why mine are missing.
The rest of the pics have loaded.
This grill is off the car.
