Need Help! 1M Bumper Picture Inside

Calling out all you guys out there with 1m bumpers. I just recently installed the 1m on my car. The fitment was actually great so I was please with that. The only thing I hate is the fog light holes!!!!! What can I do about them? Can I just cut it off? I don't want foglights

I like them, you should add brake cooling ducts and make them functional, that's what I would do.

I'm sure you can modify your stock ducts to work with the fog light holes

There are probably companies out there that make universal kits, but I would take a trip to Home Depot and just figure something out myself

I'd like to know this too! I plan to buy this for my 135is too.

Anyway, where's you buy it from? How much did you pay for?

The 1M Ducting pipes air to the Oilcooler on the passenger side ( Same as 135i) and on the driver side pipes air to the Secondary Radiator ( Same as PPK Cooling kit)
