I’ve been considering getting an ED30 dear valance for the reasons you say. Although I want to keep the car standard-ish (maybe OEM+) the black plastic trim does make the car look a little dated and quite entry-level trim wise.

If I’m lucky enough to find a genuine one for a decent price, great, but does anyone have any experience with decent aftermarket ones?

I’ve used maxton design Bumpers in the past. Fitments not great but does the job, no tow cover so others will notice it’s not oem, another thing is they won’t have the same style clips to hold in place as the originals so require some glueing and screwing in place. My advice would be to deffos get genuine to save the hassle unless you’re wanting to save some costs then go aftermarket. Think it’s £89 from maxton for the rear Ed30 bumper. Genuines are around £130-200.

I fitted an aftermarket on myself, it’s worth having a freind to help when fitting to help hold the bumper so it all sits perfect whilst you glue/screw it in place.
