Just a few questions for you guys who have retrofitted the M aero pack.
I bought a second hand M aero pack, and had it resprayed. I thought it was complete but have discovered from searched previous posts that I need a few more parts to fit.
First question :-
Is this bracket already on an SE or does it need to be changed or modified for the aero pack?
Second question :-
I have noticed the radiator cowling is different. does this need changing or can I get away with leaving the original. Does anyone have the part numbers?
Third question:-
Do I need any additional cowlings or brackets for the rear bumper or side skirts?

options include:
cold weather package/ convenience package/premium sound package/ sport package/sunshades/Navigation/ V3 cradle/ OE 166 wheels/M-tech upgrade/M rear spoiler/ racemesh m-tech grill/racemesh kidney grills/M5 mirrors/M5 steering wheel/ HID fog light conversion/ M5 SMG paddles
most of the parts are re-usable. Some will not be though - I think the rad duct needs a different config. If you are doing the rear skirt too, none of the parts will work...
I think quad_m might have some extra parts - he can definately get you what you need!

I have now bought the 2 pictured brackets and 4 radiator ducting peices for the front just in case I need them. I don't want pull the car apart and find out I need to order parts from the dealership with a 2 day wait.
Quite expensive but I'd rather be safe then sorry.
It looks like I need the rear brackets too.
Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your help guys, have successfully fitted the front and sides but ran out of time so will fit the rear next week.
In my opinion, the replacment front ducting isn't needed but I bought it anyway. The sides were very to fit.
Quad M thanks for the instructions, they were a great help.
Will need to buy the 3 new rear brackets now.
