        IIRC it's a Zender valance. That's part of the reason I bought the car. It was the first DB car on CL I saw with one. And the price I paid was pretty nice too.
        I'm kinda torn on keeping the little blue foglights on it, kinda "rice" looking to me. Just can't seem to visualise a suitable replacement.

          It's Gazzellenbeige, if there's a difference. I'm calling it Tan. Doesn't sound so "fruity".
          Hey Jason, just saw your post after I placed the one before this one. Zender or BBS, I thought I had to have the first one on my block.

                Looks good. Just put some OEM fogs on it. I have a pair that I'll sell you cheap or trade me some bullets or something.

                    Thanks Nic, I just sold my stock squares to a guy who needed them for his old Porshe of all things. They just look big and clunky to me. About bullets-PM me Bro and I can see what I have laying around;)
                    Upon close examination in the right light it seems to have been repainted doors forward or I just need to rub out the paint. But for $575 I'm not gonna complain a whole bunch.
                    I got is cheeep 'cause the PO couldn't diagnose a bad clutch slave cylinder. Dug thru my spares box and bled the system, in a little over an hour I was buzzing around the neighborhood.

                            I'm keepin my eyes open for some weaves, but I have to wait till next paycheck. I have some side skirts and a rear apron, just have to do some repair to one of the side skirts before I mount them. I have a Zender wing as well, but I'll have to see if that strikes my fancy. Thanks for the encouragement guys.
