e28 front valance

Post by pappentl »

Looking to purchase and install a euro e28 front valence (with turn signals and fog lights) on my '80 e12. Does it make any difference whether I go with the early or late e28 valance? Pictures of either anyone?

Exactly, do you know if that is an early or late valance?

I believe the early and late are interchangable on E28s. I was not aware they will fit E12s. Not saying they won't, just that I wasn't aware of it.

Mike,

I know they bolt right up, I test fit one I had sitting around about 10 years ago but I don't remember if it was the early or late version.
