611 Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 If i can do it with the bumper on i can sort that out for you tomorrow. Do you need it from the top of that front panel to where it ends, or from the top to where the valance curves under? or both! Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

611 Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 Hi John Measured mine today and from the top of that panel to that edge where the valance starts to curve under is 55mm. Mine has been replaced so im not sure how accurate this is to factory setup. But mine is that same height across that middle section. Hope this helps a bit.

I think the main issue you can have if the panel is too far up or down is lining up the wing fixings and join at the edge of the valance. Can you test fit a wing as well to double check before you weld up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
