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.

2006 Ford Focus ST from WOLF
WOLF has been attending to the brand with the blue emblem for 30 years as the most competent partner for sophisticated tuning, and it has accumulated an enormous wealth of experience during that time. WOLF’s involvement in racing since 1977 has played a big part in that. Who doesn’t remember the feared Cosworth RS 500 versions of the Ford Sierra – lovingly called “Cossie” by its fans – with which WOLF RACING stirred up the DTM … and won? WOLF also caused a sensation in rally racing – Group N. And WOLF is still involved in racing today. All of the experience gathered from that flows into its street tuning program. Drivers of the current Ford Focus ST also benefit from that. The car is entirely in the tradition of the sporty Ford models, like the broad-backed Escort RS 2000, the Escort Turbo, the Sierra Cosworth or the Focus RS. The ST is a strong model, but like all of the modern cars, the ST has also added a bit of “flab” – it’s a compromise suitable for everyday use. Not so with WOLF. With its racing experience, WOLF turns the ST into an uncompromising sports car, a true heir to the famous Cosworths.
