86 db front valence on 84 euro bumper

[wontonsoup]

How much modding would be required to make it fit? Or if someone can direct me to a picture of an understated front valence that would be nice...I want to put OEM fog light in the valence also.

[einstein57]

None IIRC. Just leaves a gap under the bumper line at the corners.

You're saying valance and want fog lights in it too? Are you talking about the es/is front spoiler? Cause as you see in the pictures above the 86 valance dont have any place for fog lights. You'll have to get a euro valance.

[wontonsoup]

Okay...I see the gap...doesn't look bad. I currently have the euro metal valance, so I am trying to trial and error the front valance. I bought a early euro valance

from carbeater (Jordan) but haven't received it yet. I am having second thoughts about redoing the valance...my car looks okay. Maybe, I should forget the valance for now.

This is what my car look like...
'84 Eta

Disregard the oil...from another car (obviously sold). I am thinking that I can put fogs in the "gap" area.

Think I should cancel the valance from carbeater?

here is scabzzzz car with it. he did some trimming on the airdam itself to get a close fit for it,








As good of an idea as it was, the car looked cleaner with stock valance,

Mine looked in disarray when I converted initially.



I would just source an early eu valance. Then add the lower chin spoiler.

Glad to see that car went to another enthusiast! I couldn't afford it at the moment :(

You really need to find the proper valence for it, the hack job above looks hideous, they should have trimmed the entire top of it to get a snug fit, the steps on the side look horrible.

Do you have any recommendations....the valance I am hopefully getting within a reasonable amount of time looks just like the car (white) above.

Your car has the euro valance on it already. And all you need is the fogs for it. But are you calling the eS airdam a euro valance too?

this isn't called a valence, its an airdam or an apron. it mounts on top of a valence using brackets. here is an early valence with the brackets:

If you can find/afford the M-tech I, it's my personal favorite...

Um, it's a valance and rightfully named so since it is the "cover" over the metal parts...

val·ance/ˈvaləns/

Noun:

• A length of decorative drapery attached to the canopy, frame of a bed, draperies, and e30's in order to screen the structure or the space beneath it.
• A length of decorative drapery hung above a window to screen the curtain fittings.

ValEnce is something totally different ;)

va·lence/ˈvāləns/

• The combining power of an element, esp. as measured by the number of hydrogen atoms it can displace or combine with.
• Relating to or denoting electrons involved in or available for chemical bond formation: "molecules with unpaired valence electrons".

oh and not to be a dick but you should probably check your own spelling before you give me a vocab lesson ;)
