Mtech front bumper on LCI e90

Hi everyone,

I'm towards purchasing an mtech front bumper from jg mods, do I need to buy the guides and ducts (i have a e90 lci non sport)? Or i just need only the bumper? Do you know of any other vendors that ships to Puerto Rico?

You will need the fender liners, splash shield extender, etc. Since your car did not come factory with M Sport.

PM your car's VIN, I'll see if I can get the accurate list for your specific vehicle.

You can be a cheapo like me and not buy any of those things. The bumper went on fine with my stock fender liner and such.

The bottom of the bumper screws in at two spots though, versus 5. Maybe get the underbody adapter. You can to trim the corner of the fender liner too, but the screw holes line up with the mtech bumper.

And it's holding strong? Isn't loose? Did it by yourself or took it to a body shop?

It's holding strong. Or it was, I just switched bumpers.

The bumper is head on by 4 torx bolts in between the headlights and two fender-bumper bolts. That's your main structure. The underbody bolts aren't essential. If you can get a few in it'll be fine.

Like I said, I got two bolts to line up in the wheel liner and 2 bolts on the under body area. It was good. Didn't flop around or anything.

Try it out, if you eventually want to get all the OEM parts, you should, but for now it's not absolutely required.

cheapest/laziest way, is to just use whatever is on your current car and switch straight to jgmods bumper
i used all the same bolts/screws at the spots, my bumper is essentially held by the 4 in the middle where the kidney grills are, the 2 by the headlight and the 1 around where the foglight is, i drove it like that with 3 different bumpers and always held on
