I just bought an M tech kit off a member here and was wondering if i need the items shown on the attached pdf to install the rear bumper.
Items AF - Left holder, AG - right holder, AI - Battery box cover
Or can i use the ones that are currently on the car? ( as the kit did not come with them )
Thanks.

The left and right holders bulk out slightly to accomodate the bumper, you also need the lower middle part AH. When you start fitting it will make sense when you see the parts.

How about the front bumper? Are all the air ducts and radiator ducts required as well?
