Best way is to remove the bumper but either way it will be hard since most likely the lip is distorted and you will need help with alignment as you reinstall the bumper

I don't even think mine has brake vents, does it really matter?

Break vents are not really going to make that big of a difference in the performance of your breaks, its very negligible. Almost all body kits that come out for the e60 have the brake ducts removed, I wouldn't even bother with it if I were you honestly.
