what type of valance is this

[mike866]

hey guys i hate the valance on my car its so crappy all messed up and cracking i want to put a new one can any one tell me what this is thanksss

Looks like the OEM late model valence. It looks a little odd along the bottom, but i still think it's stock.

[mike866]

yea its like curved out.. the car is a 89 but if it is stock previous owner did some kinda of body work to it

[Mr.Wiggles]

I was thinking stock with an upside down Volvo lip, that would be my guess..

You mean a rightside up volvo lip. :p

Looks oem with the fog lights, brake ducks, and oil cooler grill removed.

Since this was already here.. ;) I thought I would add mine for questioning. I've had this car all of a week, and it's my first BMW so I'm a total noob. Can you guys help me figure out just what I have going on up front? Thanks!

[Vivek]

That's definitely the stock late model valence. The lip looks like a stock early model lip. I don't think I've see that combo before.

Thanks, Viv' Anyone else have any idears, or maybe thoughts of anything else in teh photo?

its looks like the same early model lip that gabos posted, except it seems the PO molded it to the valence. possible volvo lip molded on as well.

How much did you get the car for? Did it have that damage??

It's not a DB/Early Model.

The only thing that has been replaced in this car is the driver and a half liter of oil. :D

The IS Valence has a noticeable 'dent' in it. I have not looked to see where teh brackets are. The car is slammed with Eibach Pro Kits from what I cant tell, with no hats as far as I can tell. My floor jack fits and will have it on stands this weekend.

Does it look like I could take a heat gun to it and work the plastic back into shape?

[BergerNJ]

bottom is an early model lip that goes under the db's...I have one behind my fogs

The valance in the first picture looks like a hacked up fiberglass copy of the Alpina spoiler from DTMfiberworks
