So I'm sending to the car for a respray and was thinking of fitting a different front valance. I can pick up a fibreglass one for about £100 on eBay but are they any good? Can't seem to find any better ones for sale?
Cheers, Matt

Just bought the whole kit from https://streettech.co.uk/products/ols/p ... it-plastic
Uses OEM mounting.
Will let you know how it fits.
I am staying away from fiberglass because apparently its bloody hard to fit right and prone to breaking completely from the slightest knock. That's what I've heard anyway.

Thanks for the info, much appreciated! Everything's rocketed in price over the last few years so I guess I'll just have to get one now before they rise even further.
Anyone know of a decent aftermarket NON fiberglass supplier for these?

Go for ABS/PP over Fibreglass if possible. But OEM is better.
