Alternative for headlight retaining clip

Just found that the Silicon hose coming from the side mount intercooler has been rubbing against the inner retaining clip, one of the 2 that holds the back plate in place. Got a good groove now and not long before it rubs through.

I don't fancy running with that cover plate off so has anyone come up with a fix?

My thought is to feed some wire through the clip mounting holes and twist to hold in place...

Thanks for the reply but the wire seems to have worked. Had some garden 1.6mm wire, could have been a bit thinner but got it through and a little twist and it seems to be holding tight.

Thought I'd take the chance to drop some LED H7's in while at it. Sod's law they recommend to not refit the back plate or cut a dirty great chunk out of it.

So now to decide, run with without the LEDs or without the back plates.

Thanks for the offer Steve but I have the clip.

The issue was the standard clip extends out enough to rub against the new silicon hose from the SMIC. However the wire seems to be a good solution for now.

Yes, on boost that pipe expands and touches.

When the daylight gets longer I'll have more time to make sure I can't shift the hose further onto the pipe and away.
