I've ordered an M3 bumper, and fog lights for my e46 coupe, and was looking for the brake duct covers, but then i saw RoRu was selling some parts:

I'm interested in the Fog light surrounds in titanium silver, think they'll give a nice touch and outline the fogs nicely on my black car. But i just wanted to check that i can use these in place of the follwowing brake duct covers:

I'm thinking they'll be ok, as all standard M3 parts can be fitted to the aftermarket bumper, but will i require any additional brackets or stuff?:confused:

And regarding the rear Mtec bumper. As you can see in my sig pic, i have the standard bumper with parking sensors. If i buy an Mtec bumper (& AC diffuser from CA), will it fit straight on and my parking sensors just slot in to the new positions? Or will i need new brackets, holders etc or worst case scenario a new bumper carrier?:confused: :confused:

Probably an easy answer to both, and i'm just acting like a numpty!

you can use the CA fog ducts on a rep bumper. They should fit as well as OEM stuff. Mtech brake duct covers are the same as M3 covers.

Cool thanks for that.

All ive bought so far are the Rep M3 Bumper, Mesh, M-sport Fog lights with brackets (all still to arrive). But do i actually require the fog duct covers, like the ones i mentioned from CA, in order for my fogs to fit to the bumper?

I think i'm under the impression that the fog covers are "a requirement" for the fog lights to fit, the bumper.
