I've received my GRP front valance through the club (Great Speedy service) and was wondering if there are any tips and or pictures of how to fit it. I will drill out the spot welds on the old one to remove it, but not too sure of the fitting process after that.
Thanks
I have fitted one of these and it is basically fiddling till it looks right. First make sure you have removed all the original outer valence, there is a bit on the top that caught me out. Then fix all the hidden rust you will find and rust proof.
Then it really is just a case of trial fitting it and getting everything lined up. Don't worry if doesn't line up, the GPR panel has some flex in it and will fit when it is all bolted up, assuming your car is straight enough. I drilled holes in the metal and the GPR and fitted with bolts, but you can use self tappers or anything you want. I didn't use sealant on mine, because I wanted it easy to remove, but you may decided otherwise.
1/4 inch self tapping bolts are very useful for attaching the wing to the valence along the lip. You can get a spanner in there easily and they will tap their own holes. Avoids the faff of measuring and drilling; then finding you got the holes wrong.
Good luck.
