Yes, I had a deer that tried thata few months after the pheasant, but missed and only hit the wing - required £5k worth of repairs nonetheless.

Here’s the Wolf valance in its bare state, they have several versions. I think this is called the sport, various shapes and sizes of centre vent can also be chosen, can’t remember the price exactly, about £300 as I recall.
Ewan, Waiting and watching with interest as we have the same car. Any thoughts on the outer air duct surrounds - body colour or contrasting? Never mind the Caterham - this is the priority

Well Bob, the other bit of advice I should have mentioned is, “don’t start the next job until you’ve finished the last”. Land Rover enthusiasts are particularly bad for that, three in the driveway, none of them working!
Fitting will commence in due course. Tune in soon for episode one, published exclusively on TM!

Talking of Wolf Performance valances.... I was presented with the prototype valance by Cain a few years ago at a Morgan event and it has pride of place in my shed !!!

that looks nice!! There must be any solution for a wider valance for cars with overriders  Cain at Wolf Performance is modifying my overrider mounts to allow fitting of full valance with aperture whilst retaining overriders. Something like this although think it will look better on a Roadster with standard number plate mount to reveal aperture.  The other solution is to fit the full bumper mounts which require just a circular clearance hole in the valance, then modifying each overrider to work with the single threaded hole mount. Thank you for your answer! I wonder if you have the tube mounts on the over-rider which are necessary as is written on Cains website? My over-rider are mounted with the angle style mountings,

Yes I was going to buy some tubular full bumper ones but despite the comment on his website he is intending modifying my existing overrider mounts. Some welding will be involved and keying of overrider to mount. I believe he mentioned a bracing bar behind valance which would leave them more rigid than original.

Following above have now just received these photo's from Cain. I ordered the Wolf full Sport valance with GT aperture but wanted to retain the overriders. Cain normally only offered this option if you had the tubular steel full bumper mounts fitted. He was keen to offer the option for the angled plate OE overrider mounts though. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/FZXSaez.jpg) This is the result. Beautifully made tubular stainless brackets to match the overrider attachment points. The tubes fit through clearance holes in valance and will be cross bolted to the cut down OE brackets. Hope to have a cross brace incorporated as well for much needed stiffening. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/pcV4lQk.jpg) Hope to collect finished unit tomorrow, then it's off to paint shop for matching red with grill in silk black to match elsewhere.

That looks very nice, I have a stubby from Cain that fits in between the overriders. Just a bit more protection for the bigger aluminum radiator that stuck out at the bottom. Very happy with what Cain made.
I feel that the Williams valance shown earlier in this threat is more flat an the Wolff one curves more backwards, which is just a bit more pleasing to the eye.
