Help! Long shot, but worth asking - I'm looking for a front valance for my Vauxhall Viva HC Estate (see pic - this was pre-rust!). Any ideas...? I mean the panel behind the front numberplate, below the grille... assuming it's simply called a front valance!

You could quite easily fabricate/roll metal to repair this;did it once before myself on a HC GLS a few years ago. Alternatively you could cheat and fit a Bib spoiler like the one in my avatar  Tbh you've more chance of finding the latter than a new bottom half front valance if faricating aint your thing.When valances do come up (ebay) they're normally a ludricous amount of money for such a simple area of the car.

Front wing is a front wing mate simple as....
as for the flat top bit, there are two designs of wings fitted to a HC one is the earlier type called high tops and the later ones are called flat tops, they are referring to the shape of the top of the wing near the headlight, does it peak upwards or is it flat all the way across the tops.
As for front valance, (that the bit you want) as you were told on the VVOC forum not a hope in hell unless you want to spend £375 off eBay... They just don't exists anymore and what is left is silly money.

The front bibs (spoilers) come up on Ebay every now and then; a chap called Andy Hosie (Bodyworx Scotland) had a batch made a number of years ago which is where i got this one from.
Best bet is to look on the Bay though!
