Torx screws were used for condensore(2 each), and 5 screws(torx) for each air duct.

I think Ed is correct on this one.......all torx heads are used on the radiators and ducting.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I removed the front bumper and cleaned both radiators yesterday. Very easy job, couple screws that were a complete PITA, but very straight forward job. My delema is the 4 remaining screws I have left over! I know were 2 are supposed to go, but they don't seem like the right ones for the placement? My 3 year old son decided to help me and moved around all my screws, so I ended up the the extras!! Anyway, can anyone give me assistance on where these screws go and if at least 2 of them go where I think they go? The pictures should explain pretty straight forward what I'm talking about. I have all the screws back in behind both side markers, so beyond that, I can't remember where this type of screw would go. Thanks in advance guys!!
those look like the ones thet go UP from the bottom of the car??
I will find a diagram of all the bolts so you can see all the locations and check if you have a screw there or not
actually it probably easier if you download the PET and zoom in, plus it gives quantity of each screw along with size (no detailed pic of exact location - working on that)
here's the link (note ROW or US when downloading)

here's a repair manual link... detailed instructions and bolt locationgs shown. use both tools to put the puzzle back together

I think Ed is correct on this one.......all torx heads are used on the radiators and ducting. The phillips (2) behind the front wheel liner (2) behind the side marker and (2) on the top side looks to be in place. The 4 remaining screws are underneath.
All the torque screws are in place. I had torque screws on the wheel liners on my car, so those went back in the exact spots. I only place I can remember taking out phillps head were at the side markers (2) each side. I can't remember if the top 2 for the bumper attachement in the trunk were phillips head? They just seem to small to be the right ones?
Definitely have 4 phillips screws under the black plastic cover under the hood. As mentioned 2 screws(phillips) at each pumkin location, I had 1 longer center phillips at the center under the bumper cover, 1 at each corner under the bumper, and 2 more at the center under the bumper. Torx screws were used for condensore(2 each), and 5 screws(torx) for each air duct.
Yep, 2 screws under the plastic hood cover. The heads seem too small, but I'll put 2 back in there. Now I just need to figure out the other (2) I missed! I'll let you know, going to tackle the project in a few.
SUCCESS!
I was all ready to start the project, tools, camera, etc. Took the side marker off and remembered where the other 2 extra screws came from. There is a vertical screw along with the other 2 screws behind the side marker. The vertical screw does not need to be taken out to remove the bumper. Since it was my first time taking the bumper off, I thought it did. Anyway, both side markers removed and each screw replaced. 3 minute job that I thought was going to take 1+ hours to do.
Side note, I couldn't resist posting the last picture. I turned around and my 6 year old daughter was respecting my ride. She grabbed a rag and started to clean my wheels. Proud Dad!! Now I have to give it to her when she's ready to drive
Glad you found a home for the missing screws. What a proud Dad, great pic of a future Porsche/car enthusiast. Now go for a ride and see if your dash temp guage has moved slightly to the left.
