    How many bolts hold on the standard rear valance? Am I right in thinking it's just the two to the right of the exhaust or are there more? Need to change mine this weekend. Thanks.

    tgorman, any joy? I only got the chance to have a brief look and yeah there are three torx each side but the top two seem way too high up to have any sort of relevance to the valance.

    Also, this might just be blondeness but but how the bloody hell am I meant to take them off, my torx screwdriver won't fit cos naturally the rear wheels are in the way Tongue Tied. Lastly, what can I take the two underside bolts off with as they're not torx?

    Ta.

    Yes I know they can lol but what the hell, you shouldn't have to remove the rear wheels to get at a valance?!

    The smallest socket I could find still wouldn't clear the wheels, will have to prowl for an even smaller one. Didn't look like philips at a glance but I'll have another look when I get some time.
