Michael, no worries but you didn't send any pics.
Macfreak007, that might work out pretty well. My brother goes to U.K. Send me a PM (Private Message) with the details. Thanks.

About a year and a half ago I ordered one from 944online.com and the price came to just over $400 including shipping here to Lexington, KY (I go to UK also 
). I thought that was a pretty good price for a new valence, but that supplier selling them for only $300 new should be worth checking out.

You would be surprised how bad a valance could be repaired by a body shop, especially if the shop rate was lower than usual.. Caribbean?
I thought mine was a goner (torn from a parking lot bumper, bottom rail severed, corner torn away from the mount). After a half days repair (staples, flexible bondo, prep, prime amd paint), two days later you cannot see the repairs unless you look at it from behind. Was $250 total. Find a place that knows what they are doing.

That's a good suggestion, Singpilot. I already had the one that's presently on the car restored, but the filler material they used down here cracked and the lower lip is broken again. I'll see if I can find a place that does better work, but here in the islands these special jobs are usually done by places that have a monopoly going.
Hi Nabeel, I've bought a lot from Ian's Euro in the past, but when I called about front valances and they only had new for $425, plus it'll take another $150 or so to ship down here. I'll keep looking for used, thanks!
