    GQ Patrol headligh surround grill clips

    The GQ Patrol has 2 plastic clips either side that clip the grill into the front guards. I am trying to locate the name and a supply of 4 of these as mine are pretty shot and grill does not marry up tight with the guards. I am not talking about the 4 units that run across the top edge of the grill - I have replaced those with a metal clip and screw, and these work well.

    I just cable tie the grill to the body, so that the bonnet clips I have mounted on the grill have something to anchor to.
    My advice is: not to follow my advice.

    Would be honestly keen to learn their name, availability too Philstar
    I’m thinking about changing over from $$ OEM to maybe a Hills-Hack Rough-Job cheaper variant via Bunnings/Ramset WallMates sawn off after insertion

    My GQ has none and currently uses tie-wraps to hold the grill (very nice and tight I may add), but I recon there are two types, one black and one gray. On the GU it uses only a pair of the black ones and none of the grays. Not sure if one of those is what you are looking for.


    Black ones:

    Thanks Craig, I will look at this option also.
