I know this is an old thread but I thought I would help anyway. Here is what the book says about reinstalling the front clip:

1 Front CMS
2 Screw
3 Electrical connector
4 Screw
B48/1 Driver-side frontal acceleration sensor
B48/2 Passenger-side frontal acceleration sensor
H2 Horn

1 Fenders
2 Front spoiler
3 Front center part
4 Upper radiator grille
5 Lower radiator grille
6 Expansion clip
7 Catches
8 Expansion clip
9 Covering

Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

Cheers, Ken
