diy grill wire clips

[junspeed]

After bending wires and trial fitting for hours, I came up up with these grill clips (2 for the upper mount and 2 for the lower sides) that should hold my grill while I look for oem retainers

Here's a shot of my dirty engine bay with the grill mounted using the wire clips.
I got the idea while looking at the stock air cleaner and the window roller clips. At first, I was thinking about the classic mustang's inner door panel clips but It just doesn't work after several attempts...

Would cable ties work?

That's what most use.

Yeah, z5stiva uses cable ties (it has 1 orig retainer). I was only trying to make it look more stock and neat because I'm sure I'll have a hard time finding the original retainers here. IMO black cable ties are cool though.
