Replaced the broken plastic studs for the bumper.

the two plastic fasteners along the top of the bumper on the 2007 9-5 have fallen apart.  Two small bits of plastic that I couldn't reliably find on eBay, etc.  I bought some years ago and they were the wrong size...

So today, I realised I had the perfect solution in the shed!  Some small well nuts.  They are rubber with an internal brass thread and they expand as the screw goes in.  They work! :)

So glorious when that happens. Especially when you're always told "why on earth do you keep all that junk, it's no use to anyone ..."

I have those for the underside splitter & 9000 bodykit

They are available new from Bill, though I do have a few on the shelf from cars I have broken. They are different to the interior fixings, with a more dimpled pattern.
