I meant to post this link for the RealOEM. You can check the part numbers there.

And from the "2. Side member and air guide trims parts list" you'll need parts AT -> AZ. Part numbers for those parts for your car you can check here.

There's not much you can use from your standard bumper.

The replica mtech bumper has a one piece grille. If you have NV or ACC you will have to modify the grille to fit these components - from the close-up pics I've seen it appears a bit risky. Also, the replica mtech bumper does not have the slots for the side reflectors (on LCI cars).
The side reflectors on the bumper (I'm probably gonna get it clear or smoke them out) and the 3 part grille is the reason why I went oem it simply looks better

if you are going from stock to msport oem, none of the parts come across
you will need the following, as I have just done it

front lower grills
fog lamps and covers
air ducts
wing / fender inner liners but you should be able to cut your old one to fit and save you a bit of money
front number plate grill

for the back the side mounts and lower trim / support for m diffuser are also required, expensive change to be honest

this is all based on a UK car
