will BBS spoiler fit an early or a late valance??

Ok, it probably is more proper to repost this in this section...:

Can anyone post a pic of a -79 and a 79+ front valance (without spoiler)?
I want to find out whether the BBS spoiler Mark has for sale would fit my car? It is a 77 model, but I think the valance is changed with the more recent one...
PLZ HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!
And a second question: I have a pair of Hellas ("comet 550") to the front. Would I have to take them off in order to fit the spoiler? I mean: can they remain, or is it impossible to keep them on when I fit the spoiler ??

Thanks guys for the replies..So it seems that both valances will accept the spoiler??
But how about the foglights? The question still remains..Will I have to take them out?(I 'd like to keep them-don't know how it will look though)

I thought the lamps bolted to the underside of the bumper?

well yes, but looking at pics of my car without spoiler but with foglights, and looking at pics of cars with the BBS spoiler, as the one posted on this thread, it seems as if the foglights would get in the way...

BBS bumpers fit all valances as far as im aware,

alpina ones give trouble though

petros, you may have problems with the foggys cos there close to the valance and also the front spoiler will extend abit when fitting...

I think its do'able with a bit of careful adjustment.

You'll have to drill for the wiring but should be easy enough.
