LBC Fans,

I am finishing up the front of my A and have a quick query...

I have replaced my chassis extension and my front valence... To save a few bucks the valance is made of plastic snot (fiberglass). The original was tweaked due to a disagreement with an imoveable object... The chassis extension fits correctly but the holes on the valance do not quite line up...

Soo the query, Is it normal to need to trim the holes around the bumper mounting bracketts when installing a new valance??? I have not yet attempted to install the bumper mounts since they are still at the chrome shop..

With Dremmel tool in hand, yours truly...
