Broke three clips on my grill (suggestions?)

I broke three clips on my right Grille, and I believe it is only held in place by the right clip.

Any suggestions on keeping it in place? Maybe double sided tape, I don't know!

I think I am better of risking $50 off ebay to by a gloss black grill. (They all seem to be made of plastic anyway).

Or did you mean crazy glue the clips back on? (because I don't have them)

Yes I meant crazy glu for the clips. Definitely not the grill with the car :-).
If u lost clips, new grill is the best option

Aftermarket grill time. They all fit like 8/10, but oh well.

I am going to do a cheap mod for fun.

Plumber's putty for $5. Roll it into a ball where the two broker clips were and let's see how it holds

I just want it to look nice while I get a replacement, so I figured I'd ask for suggestions.
