Quick one if I am fitting a C/F valance can I do away with the closer pieces or do they serve another funtion other than keeping carp out?

im fairly sure (not 100% tho) that you dont need the bits that hang down, but you do need the flat bit which is agaisnt the boot floor as it strengthens the rear subframe mounting points.

I concur

Thanks gents just the info I required. Presumably then I could fabricate something as opposed to hacking a reapir panel down for this job

[Burnard]

If you could get a template from the origiona pannel, or from a repair panel that would work fine.

As far as i know, if you have a rear beam axel, you dont actually need any part of the rear closing panel section. So it depends on what your doing.

I am retaining the original rear subframe set up as I dont fancy being rear ended (if you pardon the expression ) having taken all the strength out of the rear of the car. I am just looking to shave a little weight here and there whilst removing as many of the classic rust traps as possible.
