So I manage to damage my center lower grill, ( looks like a rock or tire hit it) it's about 50 cent piece. I can't stand looking or driving the car knowing the part is broken. Hopefully Paul from Keffer VW come through.

post pic's later.

DIY front bumper Removal. Took about 20 minutes to removed the Hi-Def front bumper.

1. Pop the hood

2. Remove 6 star screws on top between the headlight.

3. Turn the wheel Right, Remove two lower screws on the fender liner and one on the very top of the bumper portion connected to the fender.

4. Pull top fender liner out a little and remove (2) 10mm nuts, toward the headlight.

5. Turn wheel left and repeat step (3)

6. (Helps with two people) Pop lower portion of rear front bumper out on the both sides, give a good tug away from the car, Caution not much wire slack on the driver side.

7. DO NOT remove rear lower bottom screws, they are there to hold in a side bracket on the front bumper.

update: My baby girl was born Dec 27th. 20" long 6.7 lbs. Now car news, I never purchased the second exhaust tip.

I did how ever buy some rust-oleum Nite shade paint. Front turn signals were coated and installed, no more amber.
