Hi can anyone advise me on how to remove the plastic valance at the front underneath the grill.

It looks like there are some catches at the top of valance I was wondering if I released those wether it ould then tilt forward ?

Also as you can see the fog lights have a lot of moisture in them, can these be removed ?

It looks as though that's the way to remove the grille mate. Water ingress into facelift fog lights is a common ailment. Not sure if you can't split them like Z3 headlights.

Cheers Tony, would be nice to get them cleaned up as they look a bit naff as they are.

The valance has lots of speed fasteners, Bumper off to gain access.
