Front valance lower piece

Everything that doesn't belong in the previous categories probably belongs here. Interiour (how are the seats mounted? how to remove the CEM?) and exteriour (how to replace the popup-lights shock absorbers or a door) are discussed here!

Reproductions in fibre glass available from Wayne at wrcomposites, much stronger than the plastic Volvo ones. He has a website with contact details and out of date prices.

I contacted Wayne and he still has the valances for £100.
Sadly he asking around 40 quid delivery 😕
I sucked in hard at that, it may have to wait and I'll see if are in that area later in the year.
I may go see my paint man, he's a bit of a genius, I'll see what he thinks about affecting a repair.
