Front valance replacement?

[Widge]

Is it just a simple unbolt job?
I need to replace mine after an icy run in with a hedge yesterday.
Just a whip the bumper off and unbolt?
And anyone have a lachs silver valance pannel? See thread in wanted section.
Cheers

like you thought, it's a easy unbolt jobbie.

[Widge]

Cool, just need to find a replacement now.

[Widge]

Umm why is mine welded on then?
You can see the weld seam in the pic below.
Does it unbolt behind the grille?

[E30Mark]

The valence panel is one big lump, goes right up to the bottom of the plastic grill...

The damage on yours doesn't look too bad, can't you just pull it out?

[Widge]

Found them. Its a much bigger pannel than I thought. Gonna have to put it all back togeather till I find a replacement.

yes, you have to remove the headlight grills, and then unbolt the valance from the fenders and the core support.

[Widge]

Nope it's way too gone to pull out, it's not just that dent, it's all kinda bashed and miss aligned. I'll have a go for now but I want to replace it really.

[Widge]

Where did you get one the right colour?

[Brianmoooore]

Get some grease in that towing eye thread, Widge. You might be very glad you did one day.

I just waited patiently for one to come up at the scrappy, when it did it was an alpinewhite2 touring so I had the whole front end off it
