the none cut out one, ie for the diesel actually has the markings on the inside so you can convert it to a single pipe valance :wink:

so if you can find either you'll be ok.

yeah i've seen that but don't forget you'd have to have it sanded back and resprayed in your colour which could cost a little extra  :undecided:

hadn't noticed this on mine until i just looked now!! Awesome!!  :laugh: :laugh:

yeah they quoted me £120 to do my roof black as well ;)

but cant wait, having the valances colour coded will really make the bumpers look complete, not going fo rthe anni front as i prefer the rounder /smooth look of the stock one just a waiting game now :P

yes good idea plus you are highly skilled in removing the front bumper now  :tongue:
Title: Re: where can i get a anni style valance?
Post by: Max GTI on 06 April 2009, 14:13
Mine only came half off cause as I was park at the gym I must have court the front of the bumper and as I reversed it took half of it off, so that needs to be re sprayed and the underside has some scraps on it.

ooopps  :angry:

I'm still waiting for my Anni front valance. Ordered about a month ago from Damien at DMP but he said they were out of stock until June, so then I ordered from Awesome, who then in turn said they were out of stock until April / May. Couldn't be bothered to cancel the order so I'm still waiting. Handy really, as when I got back from holiday, some Muppet had cracked both my wing mirror covers and stole the glass, so I have fresh covers ready for painting at the same time in my room.

I'm getting impatient though, especially as the nice weather is coming!
