ebay star grill installation help
Bought a w203 black and chrome star grill from ebay, first the seller sent the wrong grill and had to send a new one. But I Didn't notice until today but oem screws do not fit the ebay grills and smaller screws are needed but for some reason not provided. Anyone that has done this know what size screws are needed? Also lost one of the U clips from the original grill, what size are those? Any help very greatly appreciated.

i'm not sure the size it was a while ago, but go to home depot, they're gonna be really short screws. measure the distance the screw needs to travel. and just buy a few that will screw in. Then return the ones that dont

Thanks for the advice bro, I went to home depot and bought all kinds of screws I thought might fit but none was working for me, started to get pissed off and just went and bought some zip-ties and used those, looks like it works very well for a temporary solution but I may try to order some screws that fit online.
