The m42 is hard to keep on the road due to the sheer torque and power

I was only trying to turn the engine over, wasn't even moving

The lip was body color from the factory. Over the years the flat black job became common so that it followed the black rockers and rear valance. Body color is the only way, IMO.

Thanks for the pics. I inherited my father's resto project 318is with a mildly massaged M42 and am looking for ideas. Already have EU market bumper moldings (no lenses), EU grilles, rear license panel and analog clock. Need to find some 15" BBS's and a non-A/C front valance eventually.

why change the valance

Always liked the single-slot valance, purely preference.

Pity your in the US or I'd be asking you to send the valance to Ireland

Good luck with your project, stick up lots and lots of progress pics
