Time sensitive, please help! - Mtech Front Swap Question

Hey All, first, thanks for any help you can provide.

i recently got into a hit and run with a valet company and now my car is at the shop. im trying to get the mtech front and my body shop asked an important question that i wasnt sure of.

"Will the Mtech front bumper fit the existing core support (aka. radiator support)" "will it be direct bolt on?"

i wasnt sure how to answer but i am 90% sure nothing else is needed. i gave him this part number list after searching the board: (courtesy the DIY thread).

63-17-6-906-915 FILLISTER HEAD X 4
51-11-8-041-179 GRID, CENTER
51-11-8-043-230 SUPPORT, FOG LAMP
51-11-8-044-377 SUPPORT, FOG LAMP
51-11-8-041-181 GRID LATERAL LEFT
51-11-8-041-182 GRID LATERAL RIGHT
63-17-7-839-865 FOG LIGHTS, LEFT
63-17-7-839-866 FOG LIGHTS, RIGHT
51-11-8-044-661 PRIMED FRONT BUMPER
51758044389 Adapter strip, engine bay EMI insulation

i didnt include the under panel covers and ducts for 2 reasons:

1) not requried
2) roughtly $400 savings.

so, can anyone answer, with the part number list above, :

"Will the Mtech front bumper fit the existing core support (aka. radiator support)" "will it be direct bolt on?"

Uhmm, the bumper wont bolt on 100% without the wheel wells and under panel. I guess its a different definition of bolt on. I personally wouldn't install it without all of the parts.
