S4/GT3 rear valence

[EnjyBenjy]

Hi

Noticed the rear valence on my GT3 is wobbly/loose. Managed to tighten up a tad but I can't secure the bolt head in the top to tighten further. Any ideas how to access properly?

Thanks,
Benj.

mine too*. when you find out can you let me know?

• I do keep reversing it into the garage onto the carpet and its the first thing to touch, plus the carpet has been wet for an age so the bolts are probably flaky and non existent...

Bolts holding it are ridiculously small (M6?) and definitely rusted to hell. You will likely have to yank the whole thing off and drill them out.

mine is now fixed, had Esprit Eng fit a couple of bespoke stainless brackets and its solid as a rock.

Cool...managed to coax mine into tightening up with a bit of WD40, possibly not as solid as yours but much much better.
Feel free to drop me a line about Esprit Engineering, not had my Esprit long but was planning to use them next year for servicing - seem well respected, do you use them much?

Oilchange and myself have used Geoff for about 9 years ,and yes he is very good and very knowledgeable.

Sssshhhh!

If he's too busy with other peoples' cars he won't be able to sort ours!
