hello mate you could try bending the tabs on the metal and using glue or some other sticky substance

knightmare mate . should be quite easy to spray though . because white is a flat colour you should be able to use spray cans to paint it . get some wet and dry paper (fairly fine) rub down the plastic this gives the paint somthing to stick to . spray some plastic primer on it first let it dry . again gently rub down the primer to get a 'keyed' surface and carfully spray the whit in layers letting each layer dry . quick tip don't get to close to the grill with the spray can as i have found out it can run quite bad  :)

i didnt spray the one on this car. i made up a new designed mesh grill to fit it using original grill and a bit of fibre glass . but the b*$$&rd thing didnt fit the clips were in the wrong fekkin place . spent hours making it aswell . was'nt best pleased i tell you. who ever you got it off should take it back if you have your reciept and any packaging . if it is all ok you are in your rights to have a full refund
