have to remove wheels for bumper?

[jimmya4]

hey guys i want to take the front bumper off so i can at least paint my rings black. i want to do it once also for practice for when i black out the headlights. Do i have to take the wheels off and jack it up? why cant i just turn the wheels to the left for removing the right wheel well screws and turn the wheels to the right to remove the left side?

[rudtf]

u can just turn the wheel

[SEXICÄN]

just turn your wheels to the side removed the screws from that side and then turn the wheels the other direction and take the other sides screws out!

[jimmya4]

alright thanks guys im going to give it a shot now. should take a few hours for the whole thing i havent tried it before

[harryd14]

let us know how it goes... i feel like i should do this for practice as well, and while i'm at it i could change out my fog lights. have you guys found any other way to change the fog lights without having to take off the entire bumper?

You almost made it sound like you've worked on your own car before Do the CC mod you lazy bastage!

Now, do you mean just the lightbulbs? Cause then you DEF. do NOT have to take the bumper off for that. 10 minutes of work... literally. You won't even break a sweat.

Do you have the S-line bumper or non?

[jimmya4]

im kind of pissed. i got it all done today and painted the rings while i was at it. when i put the bumper back on, it wasnt tight with the hood/lights/fenders. everything i took off went back on nice and snug. im going in for my last warrantied service in 500 miles i might say wtf to them. hopefully i can get to the black out lights later this week and ill see if i can fix it then

[akasch]

did you mess with those two black leveler thingies? If you adjust those it will fix your problem

[jimmya4]

no i didnt touch anything. can i adjust those without removing the bumper? if no then ill do it this week. thats weird though i didnt mess with anything

[akasch]

no I think you have to have the bumper off to adjust them. Its a stupid configuration. I think someone mentioned on here that audi charges like 100 to realign or something.

I didn't touch those two screws when doing the CC mod and now the front end looks a bit off.

[jimmya4]

anyone with the same problem who fixed it???

[SEXICÄN]

my friend had the same prob, but had to remove his front bumper again to fix it

[NorcalPB]

So what did your friend do? Make tiny adjustments to those two screws and put the bumper back on to see if it looks any better? I wish you could adjust it with the bumper on so that you could see what the bumper was doing.
