So it might be the time to change the front and rear bumper.

2008 535i Sport package

I am looking to get M Tech kit, however, have a few questions:

1. Which vendor? I did some search, it looks like there are 3 options: OEM kit, Trinity and umnitza (or are there any others?). I assume OEM would be perfect fit, but how about others - trinity or umnitza?
2.Replica kits - do they come with mounting hardware? Do I need to buy oem mounting hardware or Can I reuse my old ones?
3.DIY - I found one for rear bumper (pre LCI). Do the replica bumper kits come with installation instructions?


I would appreciate your input

thanks for the support

regarding our replica M style kit, everything needed is included, and all the screws/clips/bolts from your OEM parts are reused. since you have an LCI we will also be providing new foglights. the parts are in stock currently as well

Why pay more when you get the same kit delivered quicker for less from us </end advert>

1) OEM kit - very expensive, locally sourced, great fit
We offer the same kits, our prices are lowest. Not all replica fit well, ours fit great - we install our own on our cars too:




2) They don't need mounting hardware, you simply reuse all your existing parts.

3) The front bumper is easier to install than the rear bumper. The front bumper is literally held in place by 3 bolts on each fender, 6-8 bolts underneath and 2 bolts under the license plate area, and 5 bolts on top.

Check out our bumper bonanza going on now:

Get it from Trinity, hands down the best vendor to work with. Contact Nerweezy ASAP.

I can post many threads where Umnitza fitment IS in fact an issue, but you won't find one with Trinity - and if you ever did they'd fix it immediately.

Giris:
On email you requested some photos, I linked you to these, here are just a small sampling - as I mentioned to you we've sold more than any other vendor of these, and have a lot of experience with various body shops both locally and remote...plus we've installed these ourselves as well. We've also been selling these longer than anyone else - being literally the first to introduce these to the market.
