    how to remove Late front valance

    Ive searched,But maybe not good enough? How do you remove the front valance off a Late e30? The bumper and the shocks are gone,But where are these bolts that hold the valance in place? Thanks

    You'll have to get the bumper brackets off, this has to be done on the inside of the fender.

    There will be 1 bolt next to the brackets joining fender to valence (each side)

    1 bolt on each side will be on the lower rad support, remove the brake air ducts to expose them.

    Remove grilles and look to the lower corner of the high beams, remove these bolts (1 each side)

    Then finally, where the fenders join the front part of the valence (lower corner of high beam) there should be a bolt on the topside (each side) then a torx bolt on the underside.

            Thanks herlsy. Got it off, it was the ones under under the ducts, that were screwing with me.
