    Rear Valance for Plastic Bumpers

    I've had a few requests from people to get them the late model rear valance from a plastic bumper car. I'm shipping another one today. Here in Northern California they aren't hard to find and I had my choice of a few when I got the one in the photo. You can expect it to be rust and dent free. They are a PITA to remove, but I have the saw blades, 8 batteries for my saw and some bandaids for the nicks and scratches I get. I want $200.00 for one + shipping. They are big, so don't expect the shipping to be $20.00. I need the $200.00 in advance via a PayPal invoice and I will go cut one off for you within a few days. When I have it here and am ready to ship I will send an invoice for the shipping amount. I ship via FedEx and I think Greyhound is for crack whores and losers, not shipping BMW parts.

    No PM's please, just use the link to my e-mail - germancarsonly@gmail.com

      Yup, I run an 8" blade on my Black & Decker. But, using it to cut places like the bumper tubes is tricky as the top cut may be 2" different than the lower cut because the blade flexs so much.

      I have a feeling installing this on the diving board bumper car is easier than than removing it from the donor car. Can't it be done as an "overlay" with the seam covered by the new bumper? I'm sure there are write ups on it, but I haven't looked.

        Thats what happens when you use inferior tools.. If you're going to use a recip, use a real one.... Milwaukee Sawzall :D

            Ah hah! That's why their rates are so cheap!

                    I will do it for a little less if I don't have to package it and then ship it. What do you have in mind?

                      Take lots of batteries with you as I went through all eight 18 Volt ones I took with me. It's a lot of cutting and I also used aircraft snips.

                        Here's what it took me to get this sucker ready for FedEx. A couple 4'X8' sheets of cardboard, 3 rolls of tape, and at least 2 hours of my time. Maybe there is a simpler way. I have shipped a few after-market rear valances and they are a piece of cake compared to this thing.
