Swapping lower rear valence

[A5GUR]

Does anybody know how easy it is to remove the plastic rear valence on a E46 sport rear bumper? Am i right in thinking the ones on the 318ci are different to say the 330ci?

They are the same except you may need to enlarge the exhaust exit cut out of one from the 318 to accomodate the twin tail pipes on a 330. You need to remove 8 screws from the bottom and then unclip the top section.

Does the one of the 330Ci have a larger exhaust cut out? It would be tidier (spelling?) and easier to replace the valence with the 330ci to accomodate the twin exhaust. Wouldnt you agree?

If you don't mind buying a new one. But it's not difficult to do it yourself ;)

Any idea how much it would cost Nick? Going to try and get the dealer to throw it in free!
