Pic Request: DB with euro valence.

[E30_Pare]

So I got lucky at the junkyard and scored a euro valence. No bumper sadly. Anyways I want to see diving boards with a euro valence and fogs. Anyone .

Hey, is it an early or late euro valence? If it's a late one (with fogs mounted to the valence), I'll trade you an early one with new yellow fogs for it. (I also have a lip that fits it)

I really want a late euro valence :(

EDIT also assuming you don't mean the kind that only has one radiator vent and is for plastic-bumper cars.

No its for early models.

Also, I have plenty pics of a euro bumper on U.S. valence... none of a DB on euro, though. Here's the valence I have now, it's an early euro style:




Stephen - I don't know why people want that valence. Is having one less slot in it really that huge of a deal?

^yea its an early. I'll take those fogs and buckets if you still want to get rid of them. 8) I was eying your car at dyno day.

[E30_Pare]

Oh btw how did you mount your fogs?

[kronus]

So it's the same style as mine? Damn...

The fogs have special mounts that connect to the frame rails. IIRC, each fog/mount assembly is $90 new from the dealer... check RealOEM for part numbers. Any 323i will have the proper part numbers.

Dang. Figures. I read some where that they use m3 fog buckets.

IIRC, when i mounted the euro valance on my first e30 with diving board bumpers. The fog light holes was 1/2-1/4 covered up by the bumper.

[E30_Pare]

^yea i figured that might be the case as well. Well I can't wait to get bumpers now..

Allright, just to be completely clear. There are two kinds of early euro valence. The kind like mine was made from '83 to '85, and the later from '86 to '87. The difference is most easily seen from the bottom of the valence - the early kind is like mine and just has holes for valence mounting. The late kind has tabs of sorts. You have the kind like mine, right?
