Default Crooked smile fix

Hi,

Next job on my 964 cabrio is to straighten the crooked smile at the front. I know there was a good article on John Miles' 964 web, but the link is no longer working (is the website no longer active?).

Can anyone help with instructions please for completing this job?

Thanks,

Jeremy.

You have to unscrew the lower part of the front bumper. There are a few screws in the front wheel wells and the rest are from underneath. When you have that all off, you will see part of the front frame in the middle of the car, that is the piece that needs to be straightened. I used a pair of wise grips. The grill itself may need a bit of work to pull it down, depends how bad it was.

Wow, thanks power_up, that's a great resource to know about!

Thanks again.
