ABSTRACT:
A cover for the grill or box of a vehicle is supplied as a kit of parts including a fabric cover with a plurality of female snap fastener elements together with a plurality of first male snap fastener elements and a plurality of second male snap fastener elements. Each of the male snap fastener elements includes a flat rigid disc with a male portion standing upwardly from the disc for insertion into the female portion carried by the cover. The first male portions have an adhesive layer directly on an underside of the disc together with a covering layer which can be removed to apply the disc directly by adhesive to the vehicle surface at the suitable location. The second type of male fasteners includes a coupling member with a flexible sheet having a mushroom-shaped stud projecting from the sheet and coupling to the disc. The sheet carries an adhesive layer with a covering layer thereon. The sheet allows a curvature of attachment to follow the curvature of the vehicle surface so the sheet curves away from the disc in the area underneath the disc.
