Everyone know's - "Search box", top right
- that it's made of unobtainium. Besides, there are a few variation on it. From memory yours has a bulge for the number plate mounting?

Re: front valance needed
I had information from Grandad recently that he'd found a source. I can't say I believe him yet...

Re: front valance needed
The question has been asked many times, and the answer is still NO afaik. Consists of 3 panels. Quite possible to depanel, repair and rebuild, use multiple cars.

Is the source I found, but guess what? Everything but the front valence.
