Front valance went on ebay for £184 the other day iirc? You've got no chance of sourcing one, i've looked everywhere, just need to wait till the right one pops up.. I'll definitely put up pictures of how i get it fixed, i think i've gone on about it so much that im probably known as "the gezzer with the bent front panel" haha as the car is near mint rust wise, not immaculute condition everywhere else as its used daily, but no rust apart from one bit behind the battery tray which will soon be gone :D Im having my engine out soon to get access to the rear of it to have a go at beating it out, if that doesnt work, were going to have a go at pulling it out, if that doesnt work, it'll probably need cutting off :oops: But we shall see! :D

184£ from that piece? :shock:

It is not the most complicated metal piece really, quite bit of time since I looked mine from behind, but from my memory there were bolts and where front wings overlap there is kind of flexible glue mass used, which is rather well sticking, but easy to separate those parts. I have one front wing currently off the car, but light has gone for today already, so must wait tomorrow to go and see it in the garage, mine is not bend, but rusty so I have planned to restore that part too.
