E63 Conversion Experts....What Am I Missing?
I have all my parts except for one the is eluding me and I have been through through all the parts screens about 20 times.
Below is a link to a series of photos I took of my partially assembled E63 bumper and one shot of the same area in question on the E55 bumper. Please note that I do not have the fogs, mesh, or any of the impact strips installed in these photos. The area in question is the inner left and right sides behind the louvers. There are plastic brackets that fit inside the bumper in the area around the louvers and there is a tab with two holes on each side that is now just hanging and flopping in there. On the E55 bumper this tab attached to another tab molded to the bumper. I am thinking that there is one last part that I am missing that goes across the lower front of the bumper or a couple of parts that serve the same purpose. The last photo in the series shows the bumper with the E63 front engine under tray and its two foam spacers installed for perspective.

There are no other parts that I am aware of. The front engine tray is different and I believe that is what you would be mounting to. I can not 100% confirm as I am still using the E55 tray.

I am pretty sure there is an elusive part that goes in this area as the bumper also has some locating tabs around that area.

Here's a link to a thread on another board re the 63 front bumper conversion, complete with a parts list. Maybe your missing part is among the ones listed?
