Thor Audi A4 Skid Plate Installation Instructions
Now that you have familiarized yourself with the parts of the skid plate and prepared the tools you will need to do the job, you’re ready to get started.
Step #1: Drive your car onto a set of car ramps or jack the car up and place jack stands under the vehicle for safety. Also make sure to apply your emergency brake, (we recommend using both the ramps and the jack stands). Start by removing all of the plastic skid plates using your flat head screw driver. Also you will want to remove the metal bracket that is located just behind your lower sub frame. It is the black metal bracket that attaches to the frame with two 10mm head bolts. The following picture shows this bracket.
Some of the newer A4’s will have an extra plastic piece under your front fender liner that needs to be removed. It is held on with one Torx screw that is located directly in front of the tire in the fender well.

2005 Thalon Design Ford Mustang GT
The 2005 Mustang is very well designed and appreciated by many and serves as a homage to the old vintage designs of the first Mustangs. It therefore felt natural to build an Eleanor for the 21’st century on the body of this new Mustang.
During the winter of 2004 the design process started, first as a clay sculpt and then refined in a 3d program. Images were printed out in full scale to be used as reference for the sculpting team.
Just a few months later the car was unveiled for the first time at one of Scandinavia’s greatest car shows.
