I am planning on installing a OEM MTECH front bumper and wanted to also change the front fenders to OEM M5 Fenders. Can this be done? Will it match up perfectly?

It is my understanding that the M5 Fenders stick out a little, so I'm thinking it wont line up to the MTECH Front Bumper?

I do not want to put a OEM M5 FRONT BUMPER, cause I like to have fog lights, so that is why I wanted a MTECH Front Bumper. Has anyone done this Mod?

Any input would be appreciated. THANKS GUYS

I'm in the middle of this process actually. I'm possibly doing the install next weekend.
Some modifications are needed to make the fenders sit nicely with the mtech.

I'll make a thread about it with pics of course, so you will know about it soon .

ps. I've had the parts for couple of months already but haven't got much time.

While we are kind of on the subject, im thinking about putting some sort of blanking plates where the fogs are now, is there such a thing available?
