e90 m3 conversion HELP

Front bumper took a beating this winter, thinking of swapping out for the m3 conversion... My stock bumper (08, 335xi) has the pop up headlight sprayers, the m3 doesn't....

How difficult is it to delete this feature?
Any instructions on how too?
Anyone have this done at a shop they'd recommend?

Thanks

you can code them out I believe, but i thought M3 bumper did have headlight washers? They just don't pop out like ours do, but they are still there

I coded the washers off via BMWhat App. Don't think they would interfere with the install of the bumper, but could be wrong.

When the lights are on and you use your windowsheld washers, the head light ones go automatically to so trying to figure out how to 1 get that to stop happening and 2 remove the line that runs to the washers or just cut it and plug it since there's no cut outs.

I think you're right, my e92 M3 has headlight washers, so i presume they are the same on the sedan M3 vs e90 335?
Im also pretty sure they pop up to wash, although not 100% on that.

from what i've seen they do not pop up on the M3 and I asked about the reasoning behind this and was told it was a "weight saving" measure..same with the back seat arm rest

The m3 rep bumper I'm looking at does not have any washer holes period. I'm trying to figure out a solution to "deleting" my current washers because obviously there is some electrical as well as physical things that need to be done and not sure how difficult it is.

Looking for recommendations on how to do this, unless someone knows where I can find a rep with the holes cut out

you can code it out. I think you can plug them as well but you might as well code it.
