Dropped one of the Torx bolt while installing grills
Sorry for the stupid question that I'm about to ask.
Today I installed the new gloss black grill myself and when I was trying to tighten the bolt, one of them accidentally dropped into the engine compartment. I was trying to find it around the grills and nothing. Now I'm a little concerned that the bolt might affect the engine. Sorry if I'm being a little paranoid. ![]() While I'm getting one of the Torx bolt ISA M6X18 SW, do you guys think it will affect the engine? Thx in advance. |

Its probably laying on top of the plastic skid plate. Just drop the plastic guard and feel around (while engine is cold)

Guess what, I dropped my torx bit when installing the BMC air filter. It's sitting inside the wheel guard trim and the lower air intake. Real bummer and extremely annoyed with myself. Must make time to take it out ... hmmm.
