    S6 hood release

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Got a S6 upper and lower grille. Went outside after work to put it on, completely forgeting that either I A) mod the grille or hood release itself, or B) Buy a S6 hood release. I would much rather go with B. So that I can when the time comes, which I hope it doesnt, return the car to stock. I have scoured vagcat.com, couldnt find it, or a part number for that matter. Searched, and found DIYs on how to mod it in, all mostly relating to the 2.7. All I want is a damn hood release so I dont have to chop-mod the hell out of the grille :(

    Next quick easy question, is this: Easy install for the lower grille? The only tentative solution I can think of is to dremel with a grinding wheel, the locking slots for the lower grille to fit in the 4.2 stock location a little wider so that it (s6 grille) will fit into the stock slots for the locking tabs?

    Im sure I could have worded it better, but in my mind, it makes sense??? Thanks for any help gents.

    Here is a post in AW that has everything you need. The lower grille is plug-n-play, no dremel is necessary. I have the S6 grilles, and they do dress up the front end quite a bit :)
