Blackout Grill Replacement - Finally!
Ok, no pics yet. I just finished it - total time was a little over 3 hours. After following kwanja_a3's advise on the Fortitude site, I have to say that for the most part, it was very accurate.
The first hardest part of the whole was removing the screws using the T25 inside the wheel well - that's most likely because my wheels are 19". Lots of knuckles scrapes. I'm guess that if you're going to change the grill and you've got 19" wheels, remove the wheels.
The second hardest were removing the tabs on the OEM grill itself. Not fun.
Anyhow, I've got a filler from ECS Tuning that's about 9 months old (the new blackout grill came with a matching filler) and I no longer have use for it. It's in great condition. It's free to anyone who can guess the closest number between 1 and 10,000.
Cheers!

Re: I guess 2006 (the year of your a3)
Wow, didn't think anyone would guess that one! Sorry Krazyboi. Anyhow, Brungold, shoot me an email: mregosationalism@gmail.com. We'll exchange info from there.
