Default How are the side grills held on?

On a TA *99* how are the two brake air duct grills held in place? are there clips holding them in or some kind of 3m double sided tape or something?

Wanting to get them painted silver metallica, and want to make sure I can get the right stuff to put them back on Thanks.

it jus snaps back into place, don't be afraid of breakin them , i used one of them key things (forgot the name of them), the ones you use to tighten things that are straight and bent at a 90 degree angle? anyway i used that to pull them out.. . . . jus a recommendation, . . paint them silver metallic and then put a thin layer of gloss black, . . when i painted them silver metallic i thought they were to bright and tacky lookin, . . addin a coat of black darkened them and gave it a more subtle look, . . still stands out though

they just snap back in, but make sure it is the correct grill, top or bottom.
