325i cab valance tech 2 question

[Taz]

hi guys:

If i grind off my towing eye hooks off the front of my pre-facelift cab front valance?....would i be able to bolt the later type valance on straight away without any major pissin about.....need to put m tec 2 bumper and fogs on

cheers

also would a dremmel be able to grind off the tow hooks?

put simply no. the mountings for the face lift bumpers are different from the metal bumpers, so modification is required. the tech 2 lower valance will fit but you will need to drill your existing valance to fit the upper mounting clips.

and a dremmel will cut through after about a day and a thousand cutting wheels, better to hire a grinder and cut it off with that.

Hello mate,

Get a grinder cut both the toe eyes off then the front vallence will
bolt on no problem at all, even the later bumper mounts just bolt
on the front is easy todo its the rear bumper thats a pain in the arse.
