    R8 GT front bumper Fins

    Hi guys,

    I am trying to get my front bumper plastic foiled so it won't get chipped on the track.

    Does anyone know whether the CF fins on front bumper are removable? That way I can do a much tidier job.

    Everything on the car is removable! Actually, having neither the GT nor the correct ELSAWIN updates for the GT, I couldn't tell you for sure. However, I would venture to say that they are mounted in two ways, either double sided tape or snap-fit (my guess) onto the front bumper. Both the side skirts and the front lip are snap fit onto the respective panels of the car, for instance.

    Foiled? I must admit to ignorance on that one. Is it just a different type of wrap?

    Barry, I believe he just means the clear bra application. They just may have a different term in Singapore.

    Singaporeans are not easy to understand, even if you're married to one. *cough cough*

    Haha thanks for all the replies. Specially from my Singaporean friends.

    According to AUDI, the fins are a clip on. And you can access the clips by taking the bumper off.

    That I shall do by this Fri.

    Also by foiled I did mean 'clear bra'.
