Rear Valance

Hi all,

A quick question regarding the rear valance, the black part under the rear bumper. Is it painted black, or is the whole bumper made of black plastic (since it's a single part), then the rest is painted whatever colour?

I managed to scratch the edge of the valance and would like it repaired but before I ask, and am laughed at by a paint Shop, is it possible?

Thank you!

Adi

Get a carbon one to cover it.

Thanks docurley. I suspected that was the case, sadly.

Mike, have thought about it, but am not a big fan of the one which just sits on top.

Other options will be available soon...

That's what I'm holding out for.

I would be very interested if it replaces the whole rear valance.

It doesn't replace the entire valance, due to the one-piece design on the B7. It does, however, completely mask it, thus hopefully solving your problem (and improving the looks considerably, IMHO).
See this thread for more information.
