Haha! No. Actually it started with me being curious about why my bumper seemed to be falling off. Evidently, after I got going, I discovered that the bumper bar was not attached properly to the rails. So I need new bolts for those.
I'm guessing when the guys at Eurocode in Cali put the FMIC on, they did a hack job of pulling the bar off, busted up the bolts and put two tiny screws into the bumper cover into the bar, then reattached the cover to the rest of the body panels. I'm quite annoyed. I mean, how hard is it to put a car back together right? Took me ten minutes to pull that apart and put it back together.
But then I changed out my timing belt in the Passat and was in there frequently, so it's not a huge deal for me. I didn't have any leftover parts either actually, I think I replaced a few
Back on topic: still don't know if I'm going to show or if I even want the stress of having to beautify my car for it
