Coupe R Removable Nose

[Dave Tabor]

So you are removing the splitter/splitter dam and not the entire nose correct?? Then lifting the nose to acces the engine compartment??

Thank you, by the way, for posting this!! Great looking car and nice video!!

Correct - I remove the air dam and then tilt the nose as usual.

I'm no longer running the splitter and without it I can tilt the nose forward enough to do most work/inspections, etc.

Attached are some more pics - I had some plates made from aluminum to reinforce the quick-release pin connections.

You may also consider doing some sort of nose hold-down pin setup if you stick with the tilt hinges.

If I had a second nose to play with, I'd consider cutting out a center section/hood like the roadster - held in by 4 pins. Team in Asia did this:
