Oops, sorry. My RealOEM link was bad.
You'll need pretty much everything from "1. Front bumper trim parts list" for a complete install, except the license plate holder and dummy plugs (if you have the headlight washing system).
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.

Edit: Looked it up and the part numbers match
Thank you for your help
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
Thank you for your help
Very few if any at all. The OEM mtech bumper grille has three separate pieces with interchangeable parts for Night Vision and Active Cruise Control components. Also, the foglamp parts may be different. Some vendors can sell you a the replica mtech bumper w/foglamps already installed. You can PM them to get a quote.
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).

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

if you are going from stock to msport oem, none of the parts come across
