What we call the front wing in the > UK is the side panel over the front wheel. > > > > AKA >> fender. I have changed several on T44 series and like mentioned before it is really quite easy. The other post said that you do not need to remove the front bumper but on the T44 series it need to be removed and I would think on your 80 as well. Removing the bumpers is quite easy with two Allen bolts up from the bottom of the bumper (again if the 80 is like the T44s and B5/B6 A4s). After these are out disconnect turn signals and any plastic ducting and slide forward. Having a friend help to hold it make it easier. You might find one brazed connection in the front door hinge area that you will need to cut with a chisel or dremel. this is not important to fasten on the new one as it is probably used to improve the electrical ground to reduce corrosion. Lining up the new fender is likely to be quite easy because Audi parts seem to hold close tolerances. Not counting any painting is necessary I would guess the job to take two hours. |
