Yup, yet another new product, a de-seamed rear valance in GRP/Woven/Carbon Fibre (choice)

This is so you can remove the metal one, bond/rivet this one on and then just use some sealer.

Cuts down on welding, filler and painting.

Also avaible is standard valance, again in the above options of materials.

Dammit, gather i have to remove some pics so i can add more!

Give us a day or 2.

Smudger, I find using www.imageshack.us or www.photobucket.com are great for hosting pics. Imageshack can be annoying with not uploading pics, but easier to use than photobucket. Need any help just give us a shout.

how much? where and when can i get my mits on one... could save loads of hassle with deseaming my bumper and get me on the road quicker

[smudger]

either give us a bell, saying what material you are after, and can post within 10 days of money being received. Will be taking one to Himley Hall (he hopes) and will be able to give better prices at show!

[Holly]

how many penniesis it ???

[smudger]

what material?

will post price for all materials includeing showing weave, free postage to first 5 customers from TMF

Price will be same for both rear valances

[biggav]

tell us the price then!!! probably grp for me but would consider carbon depending on cost..

[smudger]

woven is better, trust me, its stronger and finish is nicer!

Metal ones go from £15 upto £30 (copy to gen) so erm, £20?

Willing to let you pay more!

thats for woven, let me do 1 in CF showing weave and will put pic up. But that should be around the £50 mark, inc delivery for TMF!

[Holly]

so how do they work??? is it easy can i fit one

[PhoenixSimon]

I know its a bit off topic but do you do carbon fibre bonnets for a clubman?
cheers simon
price inc postage would be great if you do.

[minidude03]

how about one in cf, gel coat finish, plus postage to jersey?

[minivanman]

it replaces the metal bit under your rear bumper holly. it needs the old one grinding off and the seam thats cut off will need welding up. so its not that easy to do unless you have the proper kit.

oh because i like the effect but i dont want to start hackin away at my mini case it just crumble :'( think ill pass sowwy

[1984mini25]

I always thought that the rear valance and closing panels gave strength to the area the rear sub frame mounts to?

[smudger]

Hi all, been out buying a car, lol

So how to replace, you need a drill, grinder and tape.

He says makeing it very simple!

It can be done at home, and if taken time then all you need to do is paint the bottom bit.

Give me a few days and will sort out prices for fitting and painting.

Ok you need to live near me, but hey ho!

The rear valance is not a load bearing part, so you can remove it if you want.

Hope some of this helps!

Oh, will have one at Himley Hall if you want to look at it!
