Mtech - Bumper or Whole Body Kit?
My front bumper got damaged after hitting one of those cement stopper things in parking spots (my car is lowered, but that was the first time I've ever actually hit one). Anyways, the bottom of the bumper got damaged and now it's kind of an eyesore.
I was thinking about getting the Mtech bumper from Umnitza, but I saw they also have a whole body kit with the side skirts and the rear bumper too. Would it be best to do the whole body kit? Would it look weird if I just replaced the front bumper? I don't have quad exhaust and I'm not sure if the rear bumper has notches for the quad or if I can get one with just the 1 notch for the single dual exhaust. I don't want to spend so much money either so budge is also a factor. I just want to make sure it won't look bad if I just replace the front bumper only or regret not replacing everything. Any insight would be appreciated!

Many of us have just replaced the front bumper (I have). It looks awesome by itself. Save your money unless you're heavy into modding.

Fantastic! I wanted to save as much money as I could too.
I have the stock fog lights, could I still use those with the Mtech bumper?

I just had a mild accident with some young chick hitting my front bumper. I replaced it with Umnitiza and took the opportunity to supplement the insurance claim to do the side skirts and rear as well. I stand by the decision, it really freshened the car's appearance.
Prior to doing the bumpers I got 0 compliments on my 535i, after doing it I got 3 the first week.

Now I gotta find someone to hit me so I can do the same. Kidding
I really want to do the whole kit, but I can't bring myself to spend that money right now. I decided to just do the front for now, and will do the side and rear in the near future. Did you do all the install yourself?

Hi umnitza, I checked ur website for the m tech front bumper, it seems there's not a match for a 2010 535i.
Does ur bumper kit fit my 2010 535xi 4 door sedan?
