Can you send me a link? I wonder if they make some that would fit bumper pad holes.

The 951 bumper plugs are a factory part. You'd have to find something else for the small holes of the bumper pads. Try http://www.bumperplugs.com/

I swapped the bumper and hood from my wrecked 924 to the 944S today, the clearcoat was flaking pretty badly on the 44 bumper and the hood was the wrong shade, the 24 stuff cleaned up pretty decently. Now my car mostly matches.

here's a pic of the hole in the bumper, they are pretty large. I think the bumperplugs website is a better bet

Today I finally acknowledged the rusty hole in my battery tray.

what fun!


edit: while doing so, I met my new neighbor, who just happens to be a professional Audi tech who used to own a 951!

In the n/a I modified the stupid aftermarket seat brackets so I sit an inch lower. Did the same for both sides, so now I have double the seating
Installed 2 out of the 4 point fancy racing seat belts(waiting on harness bar).
Took off the muffler, drove around the block, pissed off the neighbors, bolted it back on with new bolts from the set I got from that lister, and swapped the bolts on the cat to header connections.
Picked up a new o2 sensor, cut the cable on the old one, failed to get it to turn, then gave up.
Tried to change the rusty fuel filter, got scared and gave up.
And finally lowered the rear on both cars. What a difference, I love it!

Just did the oil cooler gaskets, not as bad as I thought it would be. Glad I did them it looked like they were ready to let go on me. The seals looked like the original ( orange o-rings and 3 piece gasket )

We just converted our 924S Race Car to run E85 -- ran 22 hours this weekend.

Only issue was a clogged fuel filter when we ran out of gas -- (our gauges were flakey). Swapped in a new filter and off we ran.

Best part -- $2.99 gallon. $1/ gallon cheaper than Premium and we didn't notice any appreciable fuel consumption.

While there are many ways to go about the "conversion" we simply bought used Turbo injectors and swapped them in and went racing.

$2.99?!

I haven't seen prices around here that low in a while. Ya know, I had a flex fuel truck before and I did the math and found that I was losing mileage, spending a few cents more in the end on E85 than regular. Definately wasn't $2.99 though..
