"Der Frontspoiler: markantes Design durch zwei Steckgitter aus hochwertigem Kunststoff."

Explanation:
sorry, I'm not sure if that's the proper term, but it describes what it is. you don't need to fasten this grille with screws or anything, you simply push it in.

agree  Gareth McMillan: Rather "push-ON grille" (looks much posher with the "e" although either is OK). Advantage of this fixing method is, when you pull it off, the pegs break and you have to buy a new one.
