Fitting R ' line emblem
Hey there i was wondering how do tighten the screw on the back of the R' emblem so it stays in ?. Because the screw doesnt grip on anything when i put the badge in the 3 holes that its supposed to sit in.

Assume your R Line grille badge is like this?;

If so, looks like a simple case of screwing the threaded rods into the holes on the back of the badge, pushing the rods through the grille, threading the back plates on the rods in the vertical orientation and fitting / tightening the 2 nuts behind the grille to secure the badge. Don't know if you need to take the grille off the car to gain access, but as you've recently bought a new front bumper, assume you may have removed your grille to fit the bumper.
You mention 3 holes; most of the R Line badges for sale on various internet seller sites have fixings like the one in the link above, so pictures of yours might help if your badge fixings aren't like this?

I found out today a solution for it i just took a small metal spacer and stuck it on the screw and screwed it in. It was only 1 screw , not like the one in your link that has 2 tightening points.
