Another question:
Is it possible to "stretch" the Mtech front bumper to match with M5 front fenders?

5 cm, LOL... In this case how my stock fenders can match almost perfectly with M5 bumper?
They are 10 mm per side!

Search for nicke60gre's messages, he posted a comparison pic with blue and black car and he wrote 10 mm on it.
