m tech bumper on a se?

siblack4 · 10-13-2008, 06:26 AM

Hey guys,

Just wanted some advice.
I'm thinking of buying a m tech bumper and putting it on my se.
Do I need new fittings, girlls or fogs?
I've been wrecking my head looking for information on it and can't find it anywhere!
Thanks
Simon

You can buy an oem lip for the SE which looks quite nice - it isn't the m-sport bumper but does look significantly different and is a lot cheaper.

I think the full accessories catalogue shows a good picture of it. If not search the American side of the forum for oem lip.

When I stood and stared - the fogs and grills are different, as for screws/clips, I don't know, but if you have a look at realoem.com I'm sure the diagrams are on there.

You can get OEM Carbon lips, and cheapo Taiwanese copies, for the E90. I prefer the look over the M-Sport TBH. I wouldn't get the Taiwanese ones, though, the OEM ones are significantly better quality, and after significantly longer on the car, mine haven't chipped or anything, wereas the copies were chipped as fcuk after two months.

Personally, I wouldn't change the front without also changing the rear...

There are loads of threads on this in the main sections of the forum, there are lots of parts needed to do the swap.
