E63 Rear bumper question

Is the e63 rear bumper a direct bolt on? Or will I need to purchase new parts such as bumper reinforments in order for them to fit? Also I am thinking of purchasing a bumper which has parktronic. Unfortunately my car doesn't have that feature. So can I re-use the chrome strips from my pre-face lift bumper and replace it onto the E63? Thanks!

Yes, it's a direct bolt one replacement and no, you cannot reuse your chrome strips. On your current bumper, the chrome strips are part of the impact strip, on the new one, there is no impact strip that's removable. You'll need to purchase the 3 skinny chrome inserts separately.

It's been a couple of years since I did my conversion, but I wanna say just short of $200.00 for all 3 pieces.

HI guys,
Stupid question. Im lookin to buy a rear E55 bumper and put on a stock OEM exhaust. where is a good/realiable place to find the bumper and possibly the exhaust. And when the stock bumper comes off, does the trim in the back come off too, or is it a part of the car?
Thanks!
