First of all, I have tried the search function, but still exactly don't know which parts I should exactly order.
I currently have the M-Tech Front bumper with standard side venders.
I want to retrofit the M5 Front Bumper plus the side venders.
I know I should also order the M5 front bumper carrier, but is it also needed to order new shock absorbers? And is it needed to order the brake air ducts with the air ducts brackets?
What parts should I order (see attachments below) and what parts can be re-used (like the license plate base)?
I am from The Netherlands, anyone can recommend me a bodyshop for this job?
I already got an insane price for this job of 3000 euro painted and installed, which is far too expensive I think.
Let me know.
Thanks for your help guys!

I have bought the coplete kit here for 999 euro's. If you PM me I can give you an adress for painting for +/-500 euros.

Thanks for your reply.
But I am not looking for M-Tech kit (I already have M-Tech), I am looking for M5 Front.

I guess that depends on how much you like to mod of your old stuff and what fit you're looking to get. If you want 100% perfect fit you obviously need to get bumper carrier, new fenders etc etc etc...the whole enchilada...If you settle for a very good but not perfect fit you can def skip a lot of the M5 specific parts, acc to posts I read here.
I will change my front bumper for M5 just like you and besides the actual bumper skin, I only bought the side brackets (item 15) and the lower grille. I will mod the airducts after a post I found here on the forum and I will reuse PDC sensors, tow hitch and headlight washer covers from my old bumper. The foam shock absorber in 2nd picture is not necessary to get, from what I have read, same goes for the bumper carrier. Don't know how the fit is between M5 bumper and the covers under the engine, but I figured it should be an easy fix in case it won't bolt right up.
I guess this is not all the info you were looking for but I hope it answered some questions at least.
