My bottom grille insert on the right side from viewing the picture is sticking out a bit much the install guy told me thats because of the bumper and he told me you can try to massage it in but it most likely will snap any suggestions?

To be clear on the extra parts needed, has everyone purchased these that have this bumper installed? My bumper and lip will be delivered in a few days.
Those parts being a different hood latch and some upper supports so there isn't a gap between hood and bumper if I remember right? I swear I read a post of M3toE55 listing like 3 parts and the part numbers for them a few pages back but have went through the thread like 3 or 4 times now and can't find it. I must be losing my mind.
I saw a post by another member mentioning some foam stuff to glue to the bumper down by the undertray or something like that for a better look down there where you could possibly see through to the ground but this is not what I am talking about.

Cool thanks, I already have the grill.
Just ordered the parts and they are actually cheaper for each part than what you have listed. The total was $76.80 for parts but then with shipping of $11.52 and $2 handling fee it came to $90.32 for the 4 pieces.

What do you mean by resolve? If you are talking about the holes well people would just have them filled in before and now the bumper is available without the holes.

Guys -
I need help. I have a 2006 E55 with parktronic and bought the e63 bumper with the holes. I also bought the brackets listed in this thread and others. My body shop is saying that with the new brackets the sensors are not mounting flush -- don't look right.
I mentioned that some people pulled brackets off the old 55 bumper and they are going to try that.
Any ideas ? Are they doing something wrong?
THansk!
