Early Model to Late Model Front Valance Swap

[rektgoat]

I have a 1987 325 and I was planning on keeping the diving board bumper but I would like to change the front valance with out changing the bumper. I've seen some varying claims on different forums but I'm more than certain that I will have to cut the tow hook off. The valance I was looking at getting is the Bavarian Autosport one (https://www.bavauto.com/bmw-valence-panel-41331961227). Would this late model valance be a direct bolt-on on my early model? Also if this valance is a direct bolt-on what air ducts and trim pieces would I need to get in order to complete the look?

You'll also have to figure out how to attach the bumper trim to the valance and fenders.
