I raised my valance slightly and fitted a wing plate, just for a change until I decide to switch back ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2019/06/28/E9D28E7A-DF9B-4955-B2E9-BD9508311A82.jpg)

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.
Yes although newish car with plastic rad, I had in mind that when I upgrade to ally one, I will already have in place valance with cooling duct to take advantage of lower radiator.

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. Looks good Richard !

Thanks for comments Bert and Jon. Valance already at painters and Cain will have grill and stainless brace bar in post to me next week.
Only downside was not having room for brake vent holes as well but growing to the idea it would have looked too cluttered with overriders as well.
Will post pics of finished article with close up of mounts in about two weeks.

Valance and grill now painted. Sourced some grommets that overrider supports will fit through. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/wqicRIb.jpg) Hope to fit tomorrow. Terrified of scratching it though 🙁

Richard, looks good, whilst mine was off I took it to a wrapper and had the stonechip film applied as they seem to suffer badly being so low down

.......and fitted. After going through all the number plate options, revealing full grill etc., decided that with the GT valance grill aperture (which matches width of grill above), the number plate box could be left in original position without obscuring. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/52Zr75q.jpg) Had to bin the grommets though. The central hole when fitted wouldn't allow 25mm overrider support tubes to pass through. Settled for wrapping them with thin layer of black tape. Upper outer edges of valance touched inner lower edge of bodywork so fitted some self adhesive neoprene strip in between each side. I think someone else on this thread noticed the same. Still need to fit the bracing bar for overriders when Cain finishes it. Now being made from solid stainless bar with ends drilled and tapped to accept one of the two bolts each side which already secure overriders to OE angle brackets. Thanks for advice regarding stone chips Jon. Paint has been baked on so will see how it fairs. In retrospect powder coating may have been a better choice but not sure I would have got the colour match.

Looks very nice with the overriders  If you have a picture without the plate and his support, I will be interested to see how it looks
