Well from what I see is, they replaced my fender lining from the bumper side.

M sport bumper middle bottom grill has a scoop type plastic piece..it's what a diagram would recommend if you goto realoem.com

I ll have to check in the morning again and circle the parts on the diagram

Small pieces didn't cost much I think..if you find a reputable body shop and part numbers in order I think you will have no problem

So your thinking about converting?

Well a good opportunity came up to do the conversion so I'm contemplating it.

But thanks again for the info.

all parts used except #5 & #30


first two large fender linings were used from what i see physically behind the wheel. because i did not have them before.

also keep in mind most of the nuts & bolts maybe used from existing bumper if they match then why not?

I always prefer the car one color, but it can look good with white.

Yupp. White is a given. Red too looks good with black gloss roof. Guess im influenced with M3s. I see white and red M3s all day on IG and it doesnt get old looking at it.

IND? I was at their shop today. Good stuff.

If you have your front bumper off, mind snapping some pics so that I have a picture for reference?

So its looking like it's the complete opposite of the rear bumper where it took just unscrewing nuts, take off tailights, and yanking it out. This is way harder.
