For those w/ 1m style front bumpers

Hey guys, have an installation question for those that have 1m style bumpers (ebay, Rieger, Kerscher, etc..).

1. Do your bumpers have attachment points for the wheel well liners? How did you guys attach the front wheel well liners to the bumper? The 1m style bumper does not flare in as much as the stock bumper, do you have a gap between the bumper and the wheel well liner?

2. How does the lower vents of your 1m style bumper match/line up with the existing air ducts that run to the oil cooler and front wheels?

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Hey man, I'll chime in as I have the 1m rep bumper. Fit was pretty good, liner is good. Only issue that I was after is replacing 135i air duct with the 1m air ducts. I also have the fogs installed as well. It does block a bit of air flow to the oil cooler, hence why I ordered the 1m air ducts to counteract the fog light on the way. Either way, it looks really good with fogs.

Which one do you have? Also if its not to much to ask, where did you purchase yours from?

Good ol flea-bay. Quality I'd rate it as 8/10.
