Default Need some quick help with 997.2 GT3 bumper install

So the bumper install is going well but my shop can't seem to figure out how to attach the grills for the middle radiator cutout?
And there doesn't seem to be any diagrams for the mk2 bumper online. Everyone shows the mk1 bumper which has a different setup.
Any advice?

So as an update, the pieces above connect with screws to a frame that is attached to the bumper first.
This thread explains it.

But you cannot buy the frame anywhere as the part number doesn't exist!!!!!
My local dealership Parts Manager is stumped as well.
I verified with Tomasz from Tiele.com that it needs to be removed from an existing 997.2 GT3 bumper.

So I am completely baffled. The car is still at the body shop and we have no idea how to attach the grill.

So we have decided just to fold over the overhanging parts of the wire mesh and silicone it to the inside of the bumper.
It will look OEM from the outside but not as pretty from the inside.
That's about all that can be done though since the frame cannot be sourced from anywhere.
I hope this thread helps people down the road avoid my headache.

The double sided foam piece is included (already attached) to new GT3 front bumper. Not available as a replacement part.
donor from bumper is only way to locate. Had everyone at Porsche parts scratching their head. Very strange they don’t offer for
purchase.
