Hi Everyone,

Can anyone tell me why the bit ive highlighted in the picture has been cut out on my old valance?

Is this right? :-/

Bit hesitant to start butchering a new panel.

Cheers

yes you need to cut that piece out, so it fits around the bonnet hinge area, watchout the valance becomes quite floppy then.

New panels are often supplied with tabs like this, they're to maintain shape in transit and storage. When installed on the car, they are reinforced by other structures ie the mounting brackets which bridge the gaps behind the tabs, but the panel is quite flimsy when left unsupported in these areas.
Cut and dress back the tabs as part of the trial fitting process, but keep in mind the reduced rigidity when handling,

Cheers,
Bill.
