Which clip did you break?
I've broken one of my plastic clips but the grill installs ok and without a rattle.

It is more likely to be the part underneath it, which if not seated correctly won't let the top grill section sit down correctly  :happy2:

Hi

I have the full unit for sale, only bit that is missing is the rear climate control cover (as I need to keep this, I've replaced the defuser unit with the centre tripod boost gauges). The front roller section to close the vent is all working correctly. The unit is in perfect nick and also removed from my ED30.

Cheers
