    Euro Valence + Alpina fitment problem

    So I have a new euro valence and a new Alpina Typ.137 front apron ( real deal not knockoff). Put them together today and fitment is no go, the Alpina is too short to fit on the sides of the valence. I am very upset after spend close to 1K on this stuff and it isnt fitting. Anyone have any input, is the early eero valence that much different? its like 1.5 in. off on each side.

        Well it looks like you already figured it out. You have the 2nd, later version of the euro valance. You need the 1st, early style euro valance. It is a bit more recessed. See below:







        Below is what the Alpina spoiler looks like for the later euro valance, the one you already have:
