How to secure headlight washer covers

Got myself a new bumper, what kind of glue should I use to secure these covers to the bumper?

Thanks

you don't use glue, they should latch onto the headlight washers. with a spring/clip combo.

I don't have the headlight cleaning system though. If i did, then no, glue wouldn't be very smart lol

OP, I had the same problem when I upgraded to M-sport - I needed a bumper due to a fender bender and all the vendors only had bumpers with the washer cutouts. I took the bumper with the washer caps to my bodyshop and they fixed them on with some sort of epoxy after painting everything.

Do they make this bumper without the cutouts?

For a 1-series I'm not sure... the vendor I used implied that they sell them both with and without the washer cutouts, but just didn't have any available without the cutouts at the time that I made my purchase.
