Hope there is still interest in this.

Want to fit an m-sport lci bumper to my 05 e90, then add a performance diffuser. However if I buy a used one on ebay, i'm confused as to what else I need? (clips etc)

Thanks in advance!

i just bought these parts for my pre-lci bumper. i have a question regarding the install instructions. it only mentions that you do the cutting to the left side. why dont you cut the right side? it doesnt seem like the diffuser will clip onto the bumper with the left side uncut?

it looks like i have to go back to the dealer for the 6 middle clips since i dont have a factory lci bumper

You have to cut both sides...I just installed a diffuser a few weeks ago and I cut both sides...took about an hour to take the old one off and istall the new one ..cutting included.
