Default 800 miles on the car and this happens

I pull into the garage and the front end falls off. just in time for the new parts.






This is one of the engine cover under modification. I am trying to keep as much of it as possible

Do you like your new PSSSSSSHHHH sound?

I've taken the front bumper off before, but I can say that I did it for fun. It was to replace the front grill with the S3. It was much easier than I originally thought it would be.

Cheers!

I agree with you chef, other than the ton of screws they use it was easy. After the last two 10mm bolts it just slid right off no pulling or tugging like some of my other cars.I also had to swap out my front badge. As for the sound I willhave to wait till tomorrow to hear that I am just prepping everything the parts arrive tomorrow.

You should be changing out the side markers while you have the front off.

Paint 'em - works great. Still show fine at night if you don't coat too heavy.

Thats a negative for your car, no side markers. Paint same color as the car.
P.s. you took all those pics but none of the mods,.......stop teasin' and show us the goods please.
