The top end of the bumper would stick out one inch into the wheel well. At the end we decided that not use the brackets and use self tapping screws to unite the two together. We could have done a better job but Samuel Adams got in the way.

Well it has been a long journey since I started this thread. Now would be a good time to voice your opinion.

Night rider returns to a house near you.
Yhea making that bumper fit with the M5 fenders is a bitch and no matter where you push it, it's either going to hang into the wheel well or have a gap by the headlights. I ended up splitting the difference. When you think about it tho it makes sense, the M5 wheel well has a larger diameter.
PS: How did you manage to grow a palm tree in your car. Let me answer that question. You fed him the same fertilizer as the grass.

WOW! Drama, & hey I like those GOLD wheels Devildawg! and IMO i didn't see you attacking anyone, you expressed a thought and put 2 links to explain that thought.
IMO, i sorta like Vossen, if anything I LOVE their youtube videos, they can shoot the hell out of a sexy car and wheels with a tight bass line in the background. I personally roll, iforged and HRE. We all have different styles and that is what makes the forum nice to see other peoples implementation of mods!
Yo Chris, hit em with that new tail lite mod, that green beast lives! BTW my car is just parked rite now, taken apart doing some mods to it, lets get these tails sealed up & maybe get the LED put in it.

Nice picture. Their is no other color that can compare to a super shiny black car. I had 3 detail shops in my live time and black rules. On the other hand it requires the most maintenance. You kinda become a slave. But no problems here. I wash and lay Carnuba wax almost on a daily basis. I love that my car takes my time away from the wife and the daily stress on life. For me its like a drug, addictive and life consuming. You got a beautiful ride their sir. Please enjoy it. Mine is a weekend car due to I travel during the week. I call it my CVS / 7 Eleven car. I do herons for the wife and pickup a cup of cafe on the way. BTW the grass in front of the house look tantalizing. I bet you that feed it well. Wax on wax off.
PS: How did you manage to grow a palm tree in your car. Let me answer that question. You fed him the same fertilizer as the grass.

I may be in Texas but I'm a Palm tree nut. Have about 40 total trees and 11 different varieties. Anything I can get to grow. Thanks for the compliment, I have to get those wheels changed tho, that's on my horizon for both mine and the wife's car.
When u started this thread you said you had the bug and were spiraling out of control.... You sir were not kidding but your car looks amazing. Well done!!
Here's a shot of my little pool paradise...

I really think if you know your'e going to have the M5 fenders you need to have the top and wells from a M5 front bumper. In those pictures I can see the same offsets I have by the headlights and the wheel well. Since the M5 well diameter is bigger, there's no way your going to get it to fit perfectly. The math dont lie!!
Hindsight I guess and it sucks really since youre making it from two bumpers anyway.
My eye is drawn to it everyday and it's the one thing that really bugs me.
