    How do you remove the front metal valance?

    I know you can do it, I just never knew how to do it. I need to pull my girlfriends front valance off so I can straighten it all out and rewire her fog lights. Thanks.

    I found it, but I want to see where the bolts are hidden...

    Once you pull the bumper off, it should be pretty evident. There are a dozen or so screws/bolts holding it in.

      The bumper is the hardest part if the bolts are rusted/seized. Once you get that off there are a few screws that go into the front of the car and some into the fenders. You have to take off the bumper guide that is attached to the fenders and dont forget to remove the torx head screw from underneath the front pointy part of the fenders. Not too complicated!
      The difference between porcupines and BMWs is that porcupines have the pricks on the outside!

            the only screws that you cant see visually are the two torx head just under the headlights, that is screwed from teh bottom up, and the two mounting points behidn the airducts next to the fog lights. Everything else is visible.
