Would the car look weird if I just got the front bumper from mtech or BMW? I was told doing both front and rear without side skirts wouldn't look good, but I was really after the look of the front more so than the back. I know members on here have the mtech, but I don't know if they incorrectly labeled it as "mtech kit" when they may have just gotten the front bumper instead.

I've got the m5 rep front bumper only ( which I highly recommend over the mtech front) and it looks sharp, but I recommend getting the side skirts to complement the front. Talk to Trinity about the parts

Hopefully your car does not have PDC. You need a whole new set of sensors cause the Mtech has different size holes. If your purchasing in pieces get just get the umnitza M5 replica front. If your going to get the whole kit i'd hold out for the OEM kit from trinity or eurorev.

M5 rep front bumper only. The side skirts are possibly next.

Side Skirts make a huge difference!
You should get them asap.
