My E90 LCI M-Tech bumper got trashed in a hit and run

I'm pretty certain when the claims adjuster does a tally of the damage to my car that I will only be reimbursed for the cost of a new standard E90 335i bumper.

I looked a bit closer at my bumper and saw that the diffuser is almost untouched. It only has a scratch on about 1/2" on one side. I was wondering if they sell only the top portions of the bumper and not the whole bumper + diffuser. I got the M-Tech bumper after getting rear ended and paying out of pocket for an upgrade just 6 months ago. I don't want to have to spend up again but I also don't want to go back to stock.

Go through insurance. They will have to do a new trunk too.

It is going to be a real hefty bill if you foot it yourself. Probably looking at about $2k for new parts and paint.

I am going to go through insurance. I got an estimate of about $2.5-3K. What I'm wondering is if they sell the M-Tech bumper in pieces. Like a top part and a bottom part.

Not a fan of the CSL trunk. Not my style.

the rear bumper in pieces? you mean the bumper and the diffuser? yes they are sold separately, but the diffuser isn't even that expensive.
