Fitting an LCI M Sport front bumper on pre LCI

muffking · 03-09-2011, 06:18 AM

A trip to CUSTOM PERFORMANCE (http://www.customperformance.co.uk/) and a small amount of money later, I now have the tailpipe fitted

I should add that the photo of the twin pipe with the car still on ramps was before the hangar was refitted.

Looking very, very good! I too am thinking about doing this to mine... I LOVE the look of the LCI m-sport!

Will freshen up the car a bit and also get rid of many stone chips etc. that I've picked up over the years of driving...

Well done though - looks great!

nice, i want to do the front LCI to pre-LCI conversion (LCI hood, LCI m-tech bumper, LCI xenons) but I'm just having trouble finding the parts. Like where can one find the hood?

Exhaust tip looks great muffking. So wish I'd just fitted it now

All parts at my end were sourced from Ebay.co.uk with exception to he tailpipe I bought from Mowflow.

Cost me £80 including your pipes, dear for a minor cosmetic mod, but many members on here have paid much more.

Any 4 pot owners thinking of changing their exhaust pipe, I would recommend checking ebay.co.uk for a single oval for the 320D which slips straight on for £15 + postage.

Was it a straight swap over then? What age is your car and what age of car was the rear bumper from?

Thanks!!

The bumper was a straight swap other than for having to change the bumper guides, what are large white plastic fittings that bolt below the rear arch to clipthe bumper onto as the m sport bumpers clips are in a different position.
My car is a 2007, i dont know what year the bumper is but im pretty sure they are all the same
