Re: US FRONT VALANCE WITH EURO BUMPER?
Hey nyc6, I personally do not have any experience with this type of setup, but knowing how the Euro front bumper setup works, I kinda doubt it
Reason is, the Euro front "bumper" is really a bunch of chrome cover plates and rubber impact strips that bolt onto the Euro front air dam, not like the US setup at all
The US front air dam (which I presume you are referring to, when you say "front valance"), attaches under the "diving board" bumper via a set of 6 or so brackets that bolt up to the framework underneath, nothing like the Euro setup at all
Not sure where you're going, short of having these parts and are trying to use them, but I surmise that you haven't received any responses because this just ain't gonna work

my car has the short euro valance and looking for something better.
i dont like how the bigger euro valance curves on the corners which is why i was trying to see if the U.S one can be fitted.
