When a bought some a quite some time ago I never actually put them on my car, they wouldn't fit properly and stay in place, what are the chances of a refund?

I dunno if it's their fitment, because the standard grills fit and snap on piece of cake, but these just won't stay :(

They are tight, you have to really pushed them to snap on, took me a good 15mins each side first time.

Second time i had a 2nd bumper and smoothed them in and sprayed them haha. no problems then ;)

I found the easiest way to put them on is to get under the bumper and look from the underside of the engine bay you can locate the tabs from there.. if there are issues, post them back to me and ill sort you out with a refund

I did get on the underside matey, it was on a ramp at my friends lol! It's just not staying in place, like, two will clip but the other two won't making it wonkey.

I'll PM you later to sort out sending them back if that's cool?

I picked up a pair of FK ones the other day, not sure if it helps but I had to trim the bumper and they were a very tight fit.
