Just prepping my car for paint and the front valance is beyond repair. Do I need to look for a pre-facelift valance, or will any E30 one fit?

Thanks

That will depend to a large extent on whether you have a pre or post facelift valance on your car.

Being a chrome car you will need a preface lift specific valance, there are 2 sorts, pre and post '85, the later one is by far the most common.

I think you may have answered your own question there.
