    WTB: Early Euro Valence thingy

    I'm looking for part #7 in the diagram below (the long thin piece):



    I thought it was kinda funny how the valence fit when I test fit it.
    Then I happened to be looking at Scabzzz's and Japandrew's threads about euro bumpers and realized what I was missing.
    I can't believe that I have EVERYTHING (including BRAND NEW CORRECT FOGS, wat) but this!

    Please send a price! (shipped to 20619, Southern Maryland)

    Thanks! (double thanks to Scabzzz andd Japandrew for OUTSTANDING documentation)

          I think that thing is about 80 bucks new from Blunt.

          Alternatively, you can get it from any diving board car pre-1986 switchover.

              Yeah I was gonna say, the US early one fit just fine on my early euro valence.

                  ^^ yup. I was going to do the same, but got too lazy and just dremeled the lower part of my early-late US valence off to get the right piece.

                      (going out to the garage to look at this again...)

                      am I crazy?

                          No, you have an 87 DB valence, which is one-piece.

                              Okay, looked at the stock one that I took off.
                              I suppose I could dremel it off, but I'll just get the piece since it's available.
                              No sharp edges for me to take fingers off with...
                              My e30 is 9/85, but has a one piece US valence. No fender/grill link.
                              Are you telling me that an earlier early US car has #7?
                              Seems they're not that hard to find. Thanks, guys.

                                  The valence you took off is not originally from your car if your car is 9/85. The switchover to one-piece valences happened in 6/86. Any stock US valence earlier than 6/86 will have the piece you're looking for.

                                  Good luck!

                                      I was blind, but now I see. Thanks guys!

                                      I learn something new about my car every day. I love how frankenstein it can be, and you'll never know...
