Default Buy Front Valance or B7 Face Upgrade

So currently I'm missing my front valance. The bumper is intact but the lower section (the valance) is missing. It doesn't really bother me although you can notice that something is not right if you take a closer look.

At some stage in the future, I was thinking of getting a B7 face bodykit upgrade.

So I'm just asking what do you guys think about the B7 face upgrade?

I'm either going to buy the Valance and keep it with a B5 face or upgrade it with a B7 face.

Buy the valence, never speak of a body kit again.

Don't listen to the haters, they're just jelly that your car will look so much newer and awesomer.

But on a more serious note, I'm pretty sure I've seen replica Votex valences for sale on ebay, it actually looks pretty good.

The lower valence is like 100bucks from ECS. The B7 face conversion is awful. Don't do that "upgrade"

For the moment at least I fitted a stock Audi front valance and I gotta say it looks a hell of a lot better than without a valance!
