How is front valence attached?

[kevin316i]

Is the standard front valence (which houses the fog lights) bolted on? I have a rust patch on one side, and if it wasn't too difficult to remove I'd prefer to replace it rather than the hassle of repairs.

Thanks,
Kevin.

if you take off the bumper it should become clear you may have to drop the front of the wings off aswell but cant remember, I think most of it is accessable from under the car

2 big torque bolts to remove the bumper, theres 4 bolts accessable from the front and a couple of screws each side, there also a torque screw on each side at the curve of the wing under the headlight. i replaced mine last week after a little mishap

last front valance i changed(on facelift)was sort of pressed together by robot and stuck with sealant!
Easy enough to change though,i just spot welded the new one back on

I don't have access to welding equipment, so I'd have to leave it to the professionals. There is a rust patch on one side of the valence which is repairable, but I'd prefer to replace it with a clean used one.

theres no welding involved mate, just bolts and screws.

Thanks fuzzy,

I'll try to get some time this weekend to remove the bumper and check it out.
