    Mtech 2 valance with stock bumpers

    Has anybody ever seen someone run just the Mtech 2 front valance with stock front and rear bumpers etc. Just wondering what it would look like

          I think the Mtech 2 valance replaces the factory if I'm not mistaken. Mine isnt really dented I think its pushed in a little it makes the bumper look like doesnt fit right in the middle

            from my understanding the mtech II valance is installed over the existing

                        I have the valence, got it for a shade over 300 with tax...looking for the front bumper piece, which form numerous sources appears to be NLA.

                          I have a 1985 325e and finding an ES/IS front valance is getting difficult so if it's possible I'd rather go with the MTECH-2 because of how rare valances have become for early model E30's. My question is would an MTECH-2 Front Valance fit on an early model e30 with chrome bumpers?

                            No. Not unless you change the entire front valance over to the facelift 88-91 style. The M tech 2 front spoiler then goes over the valance.
