All Audi's are like that, it's called 'service position' or something.
The facia and rad support are easy to drop down, but you need to unplug the lights.

jim, i already went on that forum looking for parts and other info.

well i was just instructed to head home and pick up some thai food along the way. its a good time to quit anyway because i havent been doing much on the car, i was playing with my dog which is way more fun. i dont have parts yet anyway, not sure where the F they are......?
