Quick question regarding the top mount brackets for the front bumper, the ones under the bonnet on the front panel. One each side and one in the middle. My bumper is hanging down a bit sad with large gappage detail between top of grille and bonnet, so I went to see if I could adjust it.
It seems like a local Audi dealer has snapped the bolts off in the each side brackets, and not sure what is going on with the middle one, its just a big hole, let not beat about the bush, it was Audi Watery lane, no wonder it now a ceramic tile place.
Upon looking at what is left of the bolts they seem to be inside a sleeve, looks to have a star type socket finish to it if you know what I mean.
So, questions being. bearing in mind I am doing this on my own.
Can I change just the star socket sleevy looking thing or do I need the complete bracket?
If its a complete bracket change, would it be easier to drill out the snapped bits than change the brackets?
Can I just loosen off the bolts inside the wheel wells to get more access or does the bumper need to come off?
