grill placement on Mazdaspeed

boy the hits keep coming with this car, so my newest deal is about a month ago I was caught in an intersection with REALLY friggin' deep water, so deep in fact it killed my car, long story short I was trapped with nowhere else to go and had to move forward, while waiting to try and pull out into the newly formed north shore replica in front of me, the water pushed up against the front of my car really hard (the wake of the water from cars passing by basically) and pushed my front grill of my Mazdaspeed so hard it snapped two of the small metal "brads" that hold it into place along the bottom. So is there any other way to mount it? I suppose I could try gluing it into place? (omg ugh, what bonds plastic to metal anyway?) I just wonder if anybody else has had those break off, and what have you done to make it work. There just doesn't seem to be anything else to attach it to, just short of zip ties along the bottom lip where it snaps into the undertray

Maybe pull off the pumper & rivet it back on?

don't think that will work as the place where it sits on the bottm is really thin, I'm almost tempted to attempt to sell it and get another one, or maybe an AutoExe as I've always liked that front. Either way, it's got a nice big gap along the bottom and I'm totally bummed, probably jack up the car tonight after work and see what I can figure out
