No going back now-  :oops: I've cut the old panel out as it was wrecked but now I am struggling to find a decent replacement- The re-pop's appear to all be late ones!!





Heres a pic of the panel I have now removed- You can see I am in the process of splitting it from the valance and you can see how bad it was! I am able to re-use the valance if necessary but could also be tempted if you have a valance- engine bay panel in decent nick-

Please PM if you have anything?Huh

Not that I can find - think they're on my other PC. Basically I cut it in exactly the same place as you have, then welded two dzus tabs onto the side panels, and put the fasteners themselves into the rear panel, all on the horizontal bit. The rear valance was left as is as I had the bumper over-rider support tubes to hold it in place. Hope this helps!
