Nur Ive kept my bumper lip on so I can still run my rear bumper, I cut the valance of just underneath it. as for pics I havent got any mine as yet as shes still in bits needing some more welding. But I think Ive got a pic of my mates Darrens Pro-Motive demo car done the same.

not the best of pics bright car and bad weather but its ive got as we speak. have you tried looking on the miglia sights as they run the same sort of set up?

Just a quick question....

Are all those who have removed the rear valance running beams instead of subframes ???

[Baldspeed Racing]

Im running a norm subbie with a anti roll bar fitted

Had a look at miglias but from what i saw they all keep the the bumper.

this is the sort of look i was thinking of, but minus the remaining lip, and smoothed group 5 arches.

I hope you're aware that if you smooth your arches they will crack in a few months due to body flex and will look terrible..

i agree with peter 100%... dont start smoothing things out unless you plan to do no more than show the car off.... which by the sounds of things are not your intentions....

Arches have already been smoothed, but may have to remove them anyway as not sure at the mo if they will be wide enough to cover the wellers with the spacers on the super fins. cheers for the word of advice though.

Any pics without valence or bumper?

Still needs smoothing in to be finished, but mostly done.




I think it will look better once lowered and rear subby is replace with once that isn't rusty.

Or put valence sides and a diffuser in?

I'm trying to work out what to do with mine...

I too want to join the *crazy* people who've taken off their rear valence and bumper!!! Mines compleatly rusted and I have an 8 month old sub which should still be rust free! Plus it looks cool I think...

I did consider leaving the valence ends on and putting a diffuser between them, but they had rust holes in and drivers side corner was full of rust from a hole in the boot floor lol

[evil ewok]

Heres mid way through the job with the corners and closing panels still attached...sort of



and heres the hole that filled the valance corner

[998dave]

May just put the valence back on and debumper,

Realised I've nowhere else to mount my fog lights, they currently hug the valence nicely...
