ok so i can deal with the se front and skirts but the stock rear valance is just awful - is it possible to keep my bumper and stick a rear valance on? if so does anyone know which ones fit without disturbing the bumper as if i go for an all in one bumper/valance mould it will upset the contour of the lines of the car regarding the black side strip meeting the black of the front and rear bumper.
very very much appreciated

sorry: its a post facelift se.

mmm, same coulour as me cept i have de coupe - no even in your pic the rear valance does not start far enough back for my liking - i want something that will drop staight down almost flush with the rear bumber for a while until it tapers in - its the fact that from the side the rear valance is indented so much that annoys me about my car.
cheers

I had another E30 with a "Zender" kit on it but i never took a pic of it. It had the same similar skirt as the SE but had a rear valence that looked the same as the rest.
I'll have a look for a pic from the bloke i sold it to..................be back in a jiffy :D

Nope sorry, no pic's but that is the kit if you want to stay with the same look, other than that, it's Mtech kit :roll:

The Zender kit also has a different front valence which cover's the hole front under the bumper.

thanks for the info jon - shame there isn't a valance that will squeeze under the rear bumper..
i always thought it would be possible like on the front where some cars have stock bumper but different valances, oh well

That's what i mean't by the "Zender" kit, they were stock bumper's. Just the Valence's, side skirt's and boot spoiler inc in the kit.
