Right,im going to remove a tech 2 kit off a breaker tomorrow,
i know how to remove the skirts,pods & bumpers but how is the front valance held on?

It doesnt matter if any clips break as i will be using a new set when it goes on my car!

can it just be 'popped' off the clips or does anything need unscrewing/drilling etc...

Thank you.

if the original fittements are on it then yes it does clip off. if you can, get under the car and you will see how to attack it. i have moddified mine so that no little scum bag will be walking away with it

Yup, there's 2 bolts, one on each side... these usually get broken away from thier mounting points on the valance. There's 5 plastic clips along the top of the valance that it should pull away from, 2 mounting points where the vent is for the oil cooler and 4 (I think) metal brackets that are riveted on about an inch up from the bottom edge.

Ive got some spare clips that go along the top to mount the tech 2 valance to your existing metal valance should you need them. Check out mrlees fitting guide in the e30wiki section to see pics of mounting points etc.

Oh..... has this car in the breakers got an m-tech 2 front bumper? If so pm me and I'll buy it.
