Dont wanna put you off bud just wanna make sure you know what you are buying.

I would wait and get the valance but thats just my opinion.

Why not speak to your body shop and ask for some advice  :smiley:

Fibre glass  :sick: :sick: Try to find a abs plastic one, fibre glass would just cause all sorts of problems  :wink:

yeah i agree but you always hear about fibre glass and all the rest of it, it was more of an alt option as i really can find the valance with the cut out, i know i could buy on with out and just cut it but ideally want the cut out already there  :grin:
