What rear valance is that? Seen it on a few but never says what it is.


Just a cheap job from eBay - probably via Europe. It's come up superb. I'll put some links once I collect it tomorrow or Tuesday.

Thanks all!



Any idea what its called though? Is it just an ed30 style bumper?

Looks to me like one of these.  Same as the R32 bumper but without any cut outs for exhausts.

better price, uk seller etc

That's the one I went for with mine, generally it looks nice and tidy.



Though the bodyshop guy that did them for me admitted the plastic material and initial fitment is "crap" so needed a bit of prep work.  But I'm curious to hear what the eBay versions are like myself.

Yes the eBay link is the one I have.

Bodyshop said similar - needed proper prep and number of coats.

Collecting tomorrow - so will post some pics.

Have been holding out on collection for new wheels to arrive as the 2nd hand cades I bought were bmw bolt pattern!

Grrrr having to collect tomorrow because I need it - gonna look sweet with standard 15inch still on there - lol.

Gutted New wheels arriving Thursday!

I'm liking that interior, just needs a bit of lowering and debadge at the back to settle it! Though my OCD senses think the front reg plate should be slightly centre of the black grille but thats me!  :fighting2:
