+1000...I don't know if this is the same thing but as I recall, even for the OEM Mtech, you have to trim a small square off the front bumper foam in order for the front bracket to line up and mount correctly. Look at page 7 of the instructions Anzafin posted. See the parts letter "O"? The OEM Mtech has brackets with a square foam on it. You cut off the same size square from the bumper foam to accomodate the foam on the bracket so that the bracket will mount flush.

You are correct, the OEM instructions had some little cuts that had to be made

my shop had to trim the foam cushion in order for the bumper to sit on without interference, the center lower grill was in the way of the foam, thats why he had to cut =/


As of now , the bumper is being mounted on without the center bracket, i hope it's not too much of a issue and it should be secure enough.. right?

How much does a m-tech center mount bracket cost?

I do not have center mounts and the bumper seams secure to me. The brackets cost $18 each and you also need to get bolts. If you decide to get them just two brackets will be fine

I am not familiar with Umnitza (spelling) but I got mine from Trinity. I even had it painted before I ever showed up. I drove in on a sat am and they popped right on perfectly. No cutting, no extra parts.

They fit like a glove.

Are you talking about the Rep MTech (what the OP has), or the rep M5Tech bumper? Does Trinity sell the rep MTech now?

Here is an update.

Front is finally mounted on securely.

overall I am happy with the results.

side skirts were a tighter fit but no major issues.

apologize for poor quality of photo

Both of reps have fogs...Looks like you have the rep M5Tech (based on M5), the OP has rep MTech (based on M sport).
