Well, I've said it before and I say it again; Why would people ask questions if they didn't need the answers ?

Here's the list with few notes:

*Trim cover, bumper, primered, front 51117899050 (Bumper without PDC)
*Trim cover, bumper, primered, front 51117899051 (Bumper with PDC)
*Holding strap 51111973721
*Grid, center 51117895739
*FLAP PRIME COATED LEFT 51117111741 (There are two different flaps available for some reason, but these fitted my bumper. A model year thing maybe. I also realized these are the exact same flaps that I had in my very old standard pre-LCI bumper. MTech bumper flaps don't fit.)
*FLAP PRIME COATED RIGHT 51117111742
*LEVER LEFT 51117060585
*LEVER RIGHT 51117060586
*Spring 51117061659 x2
*FRONT LEFT BRAKE AIR DUCT 51117895743
*FRONT RIGHT BRAKE AIR DUCT 51117895744
*Shock absorber front left 51117895741
*Shock absorber front right 51117895742
*Flap, towing eye, primed 51117898120
*SPOILER FRONT 51117900826 (Unnecessary, I think)

These are the two other flaps. They are slightly different shape.
*COVERING PRIMEND LEFT 51117898151
*COVERING PRIMEND RIGHT 51117898152

If you're not changing the front fenders, there are couple of things:
- I'm not sure which side brackets would work better, the M5 one or the standard one that you have now.
- The air duct and its hole in a standard fender's wheel housing are different shaped than M5 duct, so you have to play a bit with that.

I got to agree with everyone, your car is nice and I love reading your posts! Did you change out your side skirts or are they stock ones that came with the car?

Side skirts are from the OEM mtech package which I had earlier. The mtech package was retrofitted though.

Phenomenal work your car. I have a quick question. I'll be purchasing my replica m5 rear bumper tomorrow and just wanted to know what this piece was called. I think it makes the overall look so much cleaner.

Can someone correct me if I'm wrong, the umnitza version doesn't come with this piece right?

EDIT: Umnitza's version does come with it.

Lastly does anyone know where I can source one from? Thanks!

I would save some money and just get the OEM M5 rear. The replicas have that weird bent\curve in the middle between the mufflers that make it look deformed.

Yes thats a big fear of mine I've seen it on a number of the Umnitza's rear bumpers. But his is also a M5 (pp material) replica and there isn't any bend/curve that you're referring to right? I'm so tempted to get one off ebay there are a number of listings that look exatly like the bumper he got... I think Umnitza just has us drinking their koolade

Nope. That one looks pretty good actually. Wonder if that can be shipped to the US?
