I just did the M5Tech bumper set. Note that the fogs you need to get for the new bumper use a 9006 bulb, whereas the original bulb is an H8. I didn't know this until installation, so I have useless lamps until my H8 to 9006 harnesses arrive.

Do you have to get the m5 under engine shield panel? Or does the original one off the car work?

I just got the bumper, so the shop must have used what was there.

We carry an "HM" splitter for both the Mtech and M5tech bumpers.

I installed a new FMIC at the same time, so I couldn't reinstall the smaller panel that bridges from the large panel to the bumper, so I can't say if the small panel would also fit, but it looks like it might have.
