nothing belongs there. There are two plastic covers that go there. They are held in with clips and springs, and should be cheap at the dealer.
I have a 1990 535I and there are vent openings at the bottom of the front valance. One had some sort of plastic grill and one is missing this grill which the radar detector is hanging from it. Don't worry - This is a shot of the car when I got it and it looks much better now and the radar detector is tucked into a better spot.
I'd like to know what should be there and anyone has a replacement for me.
Next, the drivers headligh frame and two headlights are cracked. I'd like someone's used pars if they have them. I'm on a shoestring budget so if someone has some parts they are swapping out and might be tossing, let me know and we'll work something out.
Thanks

Just so you know, thats not a good place for a radar detector....reason:
If you tailing someone close enough, you won't pick up anything until it's too late...also it's exposed to a lot of the elements. The only situation where this radar setup works is if your behind a 18 wheeler and grab the signal underneath the truck.
The optimal place is right under your rear-view mirror....it's kind of bait being there so I installed mine ABOVE the Rear-View. Between the Sun Visor and the mounting for the rear-view....And just hard-wire the lines behind the roof panel and down the driver's side A Pillar to a switch so you can turn it off need be.

The car looks no way like the first picture. That was as it sat before I rescued it. It's actually a daily driver now and a load of fun.
As for the radar detector, I don't even know if it works and just tucked it inside to keep it from dragging. I might not even keep the darn thing in there besides this post is about what covers I need, if anybody has spares and if anybody has a few spare headlights or the black trim for them.
