It's part of the front valence, you have to change the complete item behind and below the front bumper.

You can just grind this bit off! And weld a new one on! I know, I had to do it in an old Sport of mine.....When an old lady hit it!

Thats the same as my etk!

that's wierd as I used my vehicle age/ build date etc, mine being Oct 87 build and a facelift car

[stevetigger]

i used etk with my chassis number being a 1993 car and thats what came up!

Strange, when i had to replace that part(the bit under the lights), i could not get it, so i replaced the whole front valance, and it was a lot easier aswell....

Look at the picture on the realoem/etk, it is the same picture. But neither have cut-outs for the brake cooling ducts, plus it shows the cut-outs for the towing hooks which the face-lift cars don't have. The ETK is Wrong wrong wrong !

Please don't make me go out to the garage and drag out and photograph my spare front valence...

The whole front valance is a bolt on part, but the small lip bit that shows below the lights is not bolted to the original valance, its part of the pressing. It took me about 1 hour to remove the old damaged one and refitt the new one.

[JOSEMI]

thought so, it looks been welded on the sides, cheers fella !!

On the pre-facelift its just a strip thats bonded at the ends and bolted from behid, on the post facelift it's the whole front vallance (Ԛ£50 ECP)

or if you have a good local scrap yard Ԛ£10 and if your fortunate it will be in the right colour
