Im looking to change my front and rear bumpers. I have found some information for the rear bumper howerer none for the front. My bigest question is do i need to buy a later model valance for the front before replacing my front bumper?

For an ic you do NOT have to trim the rear bumpers like Jordan did. You do need to shim under the shocks to keep from having an unsightly gap.Current Cars2014 M235i2009 R56 Cooper S1998 M31997 M3Comment

Do I need to change the bumpers then going for a body kit, Im looking at the AV3 or the M tech II kit. Is the the order i need to go or can I go stright to a good body kit?Comment

The M-Tech II will cost you around 1500 used if you can find a genuine one for a cabrio. The AV3 will cost you that much in labor to try and get it to fit right and it will still be a fiberglass piece of crap.
If cost is an issue, you are better off doing the bumper/valance swap.Current Cars2014 M235i2009 R56 Cooper S1998 M31997 M3Comment

Hahah
I will go for the M Tech II.......I rather have the nicer of the two.
The only thing is im in Texarkana....i have to drive over an hour to get any real work done my engine, now what is the likely hood of me finding a place where in get a M Tech near me.
The hunt begins....Comment
