Default M5 front arch liners

Are the M5 front arch liners different to M sport ones?
I ask because i have just bought a pair of genuine M5 wings,i will modify my M sport bumper to suit but was just wondering about the liners

Yes. The liners for the M5 and non-M cars (including sport version) are different. The M liners are wider than the non-M liners. I've heard of people trying to use the non-M liners on M fenders, but it sounded like a real hack.

I managed to modify my existing arch liners, by warming them up almost to the point of melting you can stretch the arch edge to flare it as needed
