+1. that's always the problem with aftermarket pieces, to keep the OEM look the mesh needs more thickness IMO

Maybe I don't know what I'm talking about, but I don't see any mounting points on the inside of the bumper...

Looks like it's for a non m since it has square reflector indents

My guess is they used a non M bumper as the base, possibly because the reflector location on an M bumper would get in the way of molding the 1M lower part on. Also it's not a bad idea on their part to leave a recess for the reflector since it is a law to have a reflector in front of the wheels.

Do you really want to reinstall your headlight washers?
Mine have been hanging on the wall of my garage for the last 2 years. My biggest concern would be the top rear edges where it's supposed to lock in against the quarter panel. You know, with the $26 clip that always breaks. It doesn't look like it has any tabs there. What holds it on?

in my country im not sure of witch year of build, but if you have xenon headlights (oem) than you must have them, or else you wont make the MOT. and then it's not legal to drive on the road.

Also, what about the ducts? The chicken wire has to go and could probably be easily replaced with something better, but what about getting the "brake cooling" ducts put on? I doubt the M bumper ducts would line up right...

I always thought they were just an inconvenience feature. I wonder where else that's true. Maybe I'm illegal now. Well, more illegal.

Don't think is illegal in Cali, not all cars seems to have that to. But than again not all are Xenon Headlights. Hope some one buys this bumper and do some work on it and post pics.

my country is in Europe it's called the Netherlands/holland/amsterdam ( to some).
here it's obliged that you have to have somekind of washer installation when you have xenon, as when your headlamps get dirty it can casue the light to go all over the place and blind other drivers. ( the official statement i touhgt) don't think there are the same regulations in the US, but it can allways be a local state law.
