Hi, is it possible to replace the rear valance only or is it part of the whole back panel bit? Took off my crappy replica rear bumper-valance to find that someone has cut off a big square off around the tail pipes...

I'll either have a bit of metal welded or replace the thing if possible.

cheers,

Rear valence comes as part of the complete rear panel, but you don't have to fit all of it. A 1mm cutting disc will soon trim it down to the bit you require.

Thanks guys, I'll have it patched at my new favorite garage, much easier that way i think. How does the tailpipes normally sit under the valance? Just under or is there a little cut out?

cheers

This any use?

I had the original single pipe cut out modified to a twin pipe type.
