The grid is secured on with "10 Axial Clips" 51 41 8 201 057 Simply press on to make the grid secure. Before you place on both impact strips, you need to secure the metal front bumper core from your old bumper into the M5 front bumper skin using "Expanding Rivots" (about 8 total) instead of the ones from your old bumper (51 11 8 174 185)
The fog lamp screws into its area using a "Body Nut," which is more like a clip to receive the screw (07 12 9 925 717), and the actual screw, the "Hex Head Screw" (07 11 9 916 922). Remove one of each from the stock fog lamp attachment apparatus for each of the M5 fog lamps. The clips goes onto the fog lamp itself. The hex head is 7mm in diameter and screws into the fog lamp/clip from BEHIND the bumper. Accessing a burnt out bulb is from behind the bumper and will no longer be from the front of the fog lamp.
