I've gone over everything on my Westy and it reallr looks great. When I
tried to put the lower grill  back on I dicovered that the little
expansion fasteners had been misplaced by the guys in the paint shop-- I
cant get them from the dealer' anyone have any used ones ,or are they
available somewhere --Ron would know -at least I think he would.  Anyone
else? There has to be some around someplace-- Help! !
   TIA  Bud Yandell

Hey Bud!

My grill has about half real VW/Audi clips and about half are just common
license plate mounting clips.  They look about the same, work the same.
Places like Pep Boys (Will they ever grow up and become Pep Men?) have a dozen
slightly different styles.  Just find one that hooks the grill from the front
and doesn't pull through.  If you can't find one big enough just use a smaller
one and then use a flat washer under the screw head big enough to hook the
grill.  This should keep your plastic from flying off into space.

Good luck!
