Brake duct adjustment help
My 928S front nose where the brake duct is fed fresh air from is a little warpped and i really dont like the look of it (1 side is straight the other is wacked out of shape) any way of fixing this is there a trick or way of doing DIY without removing the front bumper to adjust the duct inlet housing? ...also being a white duco makes it stand out like a motha!
heres a pic of what i mean...not a great pic but shows what i mean!
TIA for the help

That is a fairly easy fix. It is probably the alternator cooling hose causing the distortion to the duct, since it goes under that brake duct. This would cause the mis-alignment.
Put the front end up, pull the driver side wheel and remove the fender liner. Then remove the flat panel in front of the wheel well, but be careful because the alt cooling hose is (or should be) connected to that panel. Once you open it up, you'll see what you need to do to straighten out the duct grill in your picture. You do not have to pull the front bumper cover for this.

As I think about it more, you probabaly don't even need to remove the fender liner to remove the plastic panel in the front of the wheel well. I always pull both off to do various jobs, but the liner can stay in. Just pop the panel out, and everything is visible and accessable.
