Hi All, I'll get my M5 front bumper back from the paint shop soon and started collecting info on how to fit it. I got the side brackets to better align it with the fenders but do I also need the foam parts (that goes between the carrier and bumper) in order to get a good fit in front?

I have seen people cutting the original ones when changing to M-sport but since the parts are only some 20-25 bucks a piece I figured I might as well get the correct ones, if they really are necessary for getting a good fit that is.

Cheers
Matt
