I'd really doubt it, can't recall a car where it isn't welded in

Default Re: Ford capri gt 1972 front valance panel

The front valance bolts to the front skirt of the mudguards only.
It is spot welded along the seam at the base of the grille and headlights.....and the braceing piece behind the centre of the grille (2 spots at the grille base seam and two spots on the valance itself lower down).
You may also find the top outer corners (under indicator) are braised to the guards.

Use 1/8 pilot drill followed by 1/4 or 5/16 to drill the spot.
Have fun....
