Ok, Im pickin my kit up early this week from having it all painted. Now I seem to have researched/got the clips for most of it, but the only thing which is confusing me is the lower front valance. Exactly how does this fit on to the car? I cant really see how it attatches at all. If any one knows please explain!:D

You have to drill out and fit a row of clips just beneath the the bottom edge of the bumper. You also have to drill a whole one at each end on the valence, look at the MTech valence your trying to attach and you'll see a slot in the two top corners that will accept a couple of fixings.

Afraid i don't have any pics to explain :(

thats about it, but you need a stencil from BMW to drill the holes properly.

(Rares Brother) How much are the stencils Demlot? We were just going to fit the bumprs, then hold the sideskirts up and drill where we thought they needed to be drilled, but it seems a bit risky.

check with your local stealer!

There are enough people here, who i'm sure in the future could 'hire' this stencil off you, therefore you'll get your monies back in no time...

i drilled mine without the stencil. get one if you can but it ain't difficult to do it without. find the centreline (and make sure you have it accurate!), use that to drill the hole for the centre clip first, then just drill holes in the car where there are holes in the valance. easy!
