1. Installing the Assembled M5 Front Bumper

With the Headlight systems and Lower Left and Right Fender Liners removed, bring the M5 Front Bumper near the car.

Install the M5 Front Bumper in the reverse fashion as the removal the the stock bumper.

Be sure to slide into the Left and Right guides for the bumper.

Note the tab of the Left and Right Upper wheel liners are tucked inside the M5 Front Bumper and not behind the bumper's edge. If the edge is behind, simply bend the plastic enough, or pull out the edge of the bumper to the side, to tuck inside. Top

2. Installation of the Left and Right Fender Liners

If the wheel is in the way, simply slide the Left and Right Lower Fender Liner into place. The upper edge (where the liner is screwed into the upper liner) tucks in ahead of the upper wheel well liner. The upper outside corner of the liner also tucks ahead of the bumper much like the upper wheel liner does.

Be sure to thread the thermostat sensor through its hole on the passenger's side lower fender liner.

  Align the screw holes. Using the stock screws, tighten into place using an 8mm socket bit.
  Check to make sure the edge that is in contact with the Lower Engine Cover is positioned correctly.
  Tighten the screws located below the liner to the bumper itself using a Philips head screwdriver.
   
Reinstall the Headlight System.
 
Wipe the bumper clean with a damp cloth.
 
Congratulations!!! You are done!!! Have a "Cold One" for me!!!! Top
