Installing the Front Skid Plate Mounts
The Audi TT Panzer Plate uses two stainless steel exhaust clamps to hold the front part of the plate to the beefy steel intercooler tube. This is the large diameter tube that crosses the front of the car from left to right in the lower engine bay. The stainless exhaust clamps fit the diameter of the intercooler tube perfectly. The passenger side exhaust clamp is used alone without any other bracketry. The driver side mount uses the same stainless exhaust clamp as the passenger side but the driver side clamp is attached to the custom aluminum bracket bracket.
