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!

retrofitting to a m5 front bumper does not need new m5 front bumper carrier or new shock absorbers, unless you want to spend the extra cash. my m5 front bumper was retrofitted by simply removing the bumper and removing the shock absorbers. You may want to leave the foglights hooked up and secure that somewhere to prevent an error message on idrive.
When i ordered my m5 bumper, it came with the bottom grill, airducts, headlight washer covers, tow hook cover, and the m5 side brackets. That's pretty much all you need for the install. My cost was $800 for the bumper + $500 paint.. I think that was way too expensive already! 3000 EUROS??? for yours?? that's insane!
