Default Any WR1 owners have their grill falling off?

I've lost (they fell off) 2 of the cheap nasty bodge clips that hold on my top grill. Tileys in Bristol have taken a month so far & still haven't got any replacements. Has anyone else had this issue?

If your dealer talks to Subaru, they will find that there are plenty of clips in stock.

The grill fixing is a bodge job & the clips are bound to fall off as they are held by a sticky pad sticking metal to plastic. I have just phoned Tileys to remind them....

BTW my STi grill badge is stuck on wonky. The badge needs to be moved slightly, how do I take off those plastic retainers on the back of the badge?

My dealer Tileys had ordered 2 clips for me, but in the meantime they got another WR1 owner in with his grill falling off - & he got my clips. Tileys are ordering 3 more clips & will post them to me.

There was a thread on here a couple of months ago about this, it seems a fairly common problem. You could try asking on here;

A grill cooks burgers and stuff. The adjective you are all groping for is grille HTH.
