Hi John, here is another option for you. I wanted to keep the badge bar and overriders and Williams supplied, painted and fitted.

nostalgiajohn, as I understand your purchase s quite new, right? When I got my Mog in 2017, I had a severe case of "upgradeiditis fever" but I managed to restrain myself. So I calmly tried to analyze what upgrades would give me the most benefit. Some affect handling, some safety, performance, look etc. Or combinations of the mentioned. So if you really are willing to spend that much money, is the mod you are planning what improves you driving experience the most? My best improvement so far was to get rid of the flat, oval chrome OEM mirrors and put on round, convex stainless ones. Better rear vision and better look. But they are not cheap. I put on a steering damper and then brake reaction stays to calm down the front suspension and reduce the "bump steer". Not cheap either. I considered spots, but I asked myself how much do I drive at night with scarce traffic allowing me to use the spots? Would changing the OEM (Lucas?) lamps to the Cibie 180 and even putting in H4 LED lamps be better? As for the valance, very nice looking, but not worth it in my view. However, I did not like the position of the number plate box tilting upwards. So I got some brackets and lowered the box untill the top of the box is flush with the bottom of the steel plate at the end of the grill and the front surface vertical. Certainly not a "valance look", but a cosmetical improvement and very cheap. So my message is: take your time, think calmly, get ito he community, have a look at other Mogs, see what you like and investigate how the mods are done. I have had my car for three years, and am little by little improving it after a lot of consideration of each thing. That mental journey is a pleasure in itself, and you learn a lot.

Where do you chaps relocate your horns to when fitting a spoiler? Under the front nearside wing on mine, the OE harness is run via it, just make sure the 'horns' point down so they don't collect water

My favourite valance was the ARP4, which morphed into the most recent factory valance. The Wolf valances are really well made and fit well.
I don't like the look of narrow valances, and I recall that Wolf do a wide one which retains over-riders with modified brackets.
For me, the William's valance is too vertical, and sits behind the edge if the wings instead of butting up.

I agree with you with the Williams valances being too vertical, at the time I took the easier route because Williams offer the full package, manufacture paint and install. The Wolf valances also sit behind the edge of the wings too? when I just looked on the Wolf valance gallery ? I thought it was the factory valances that butt up to the wings ?
