    Early Euro Valence Question

    Will a early euro valence fit a car with a oil cooler? I have a late model one and I need a early one to fit my Alpina dam. Early model is a little less bowed than the later. Need to know asap.

    Fitment should not be a problem. But IDK about airflow...

      Im not too worried about airflow, I have been using a front lip that doesnt have the cutout for along time now and no problems.

        IIRC the early valance bolts right to where the oil cooler is mounted.

          fantastic, can anybody confirm this, I may have a useless to me Alpina Valence for sale soon and that would just break my heart if I couldnt use it.

            I have an early US valence on my car now (oil cooler) and it does fit (I left the bolts out that go where the oil cooler is w/ no issues). If worse came to worse you could relocate your oil cooler if you really want to run the alpina lip.

              Same thing I was thinking - if you like that lip, and it's original, then relocating oil cooler might not be much of a sacrifice.
