BMW performance bumper

hey guys
so i'm planning to buy a performance bumper
my car is a 125i that is a non m sport

if anyone has experience of this please let me know
so the conundrum is the performance bumper is made for the m sport bumper and has a hole to house the headlight washers
also the my car has foglights while the performance bumper does not have a opening for the fogs, so what should i do to avoid getting error codes?
i know i can pay a body shop to deal with this mess but i enjoy the DIY and hope someone can provide me with some guidance!

If you don't have xenons you can get the bumper without the washer cutouts.

The undertray will not fit properly but you can work around it.

You can just unplug the fogs, they won't throw an error from memory.

From memory, the covers from an msport bumper won't fit properly on a performance bumper.

The standard non-Msport undertray cannot be screwed into the perf bumper, however you can make your own drill holes and screw it in place - it just wont be an oem like fit
