whew! that was scary, it wasn't even close to clearing the intercooler without modifying all 3 the lower grilles and the corners of the bumper itself. For some reason, the lower grills have a large protrusion behind it that I had to slice off.
Also, the corners of the bumper that have little tabs that snap into the $36 piece that often breaks off: the M bumper has indentations between 2 of the tabs and this one didn't. Took me 10 minutes to figure out why the hell the corners weren't snapping into place. Then I cut out the little grooves it was missing.
By the way, the basic aero bumper kit from tischer doesn't include a tow hook cover ($20), or the $36 x 2 headlight washer covers. Thankfully my local euro car paint shop only charged me $75 to fill and hide the headlight washer covers.
Note the cuts on the back of the grille
