If you have the holes there then you just need some rivet screws, the best thing about those things are they are snapped in without tools.... I carry extras in my car "just incase"

Post a message "WTB TT front grills" in the for sale section. I did that and had a bunch of offers very quickly. I think I spent $100 for all three.

Good luck.
