    Mtech 1 Q's

    I am converting from diving boards to small chrome bumpers. I have everything except a front valence that will work with them. I think I am going with the Mtech1 front valence. Does the valence bolt onto the bumper? or somewhere on the car? Also, what hardware do I need? thanks,
    Matt

    I believe it bolts onto the bumper.

        it sandwich betwen bumper & rubber trim

        all the screw are already there as they hold trim in place.

        see front bumper / m etch 1 airdam here...

              is there a difference between Euro and US valances ?

              fog lights bolt to air dam, air dam bolts to bumper, bumper brakets bolt onto oem bumper shock holes.

                  The euro metal valence just helps keep the mtech spiler ridgid right?

                    Correct, it allows you the use of the proper underside piecs that make up the underpanels.

                        The two small flaps tie into the air router that is on the underside of the car just like the US cars.
