Noooo.. back to stock for me :(

[R_Ethug]

Today since I have the time and the weather looks like its gonna change soon I'm taking off my bumper and grill and going back to stock :( i might leave my pwzwo grill on for a while though since that takes 5 seconds to remove.

Simon,

I have a c1 wheel stand that I no longer need since the Jetta isn't being driven this winter. It is yours for $30

Why you taking off a grill for winter? Wheels I can understand but a grill?

i'm talking off my lip and grill.. anyone have tips for the reinstall for the black stock lower lip dealy.. i can get it on but the sides aren't long enough.. looks like it has to be stretched out like 1/2 an inch each way?? hmmm

[PuppageVW]

i'd take it all off aswell. The winter is a dreary time anyhow and your car will never look good in the winter even if its pimped out. Take off the grille to ensure there is no dmg done by rocks and all that nonsense.

yup paul.. anyways kris?? did you install your 4mo front yourself? cuz this is friggin annoying i can't get it to fit right.. so i'm taking a break and will try again i guess. next year i'm getting a winter front end for sure.. either a reiger RS rs4 look bumper for the winter or another stock one paint it silver and then just swap the whole thing every winter cuz this is so damn annoying

I HATE THIS STOCK BUMPER CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! god these things piss me off.. **** it i'm taking it to northland and have them install it for me **** i dont' care if they charge me 50 bucks i'm done punching and pulling it won't fit worth a ****!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

email me @ simondewit@shaw.ca to schedule a pick up time

The valence was easy. Take bumper off. Just start in the middle and work your way outwards. Do one tab at a time.

i have the bumper installed right now.. i can start in the middle and the tabs go fine however they don't want to fit come the ends.. hmm i guess i'll try tommorow before my golf game

[Derick]

Screw it man. You can carpool with me when the snow comes :mrlaugh:

[Kor]

If the ends seem "too short" is cause the tabs in the middle arent all the way in. Push them harder.

[R_Ethug]

thats probably what it is then kris.. i'm gonna go try it again here before golf this afternoon.. last night my car looked rather jacked with that piece missing..

[Kor]

You can also use a flathead screwdriver on the tabs from the inside of the bumper if that helps. The trick for me was just to do the tabs one at a time instead of just trying to push them all in at once.
