NEED UR SUGGESTIONS ABOUT THE CSL FRONT BUMPER OR A FRONT LIP!!!!

[LSB_M3]

Hi all...

Well to start, i'm in love with the CSL front bumper but the only thing stopping me from buying one is the following:
(1) I heard that its a pain in the a$$ to install. needs modifications, and needs someone who knows about these bumpers etc (wa7ad fahman, like we say). How terrible is the installation situation?
(2) Is it much lower than the stock front bumper? My car is lowered and in Kuwait we have those bumps that were made to completely stop u no matter the consequences! lol! The car is fine now, but barely! so having anything lower in clearance than what i have might be a problem.

In case the CSL trunk is a BIG hasstle, the other thing i would like is an add on lip! any suggestions????
I need a lip, again, that wont shorten the clearance to the floor. I'm sure some members have actually tried out add on lips, any recommendations???

Thanks alot :) :) :)

But what are the needed parts???

Bruno said:

"The parts required to mount this bumper is the following:
Non-M bumper carrier with the shock absorbers that mount the bumper… (All available in sharjah for 700 AED and comes with a bumper)"

Is that it?

bumper is definitely better than any add-on lip..

What about air intakes, the front one next to fog lights? All will be canceled when i install the CSL bumper? i dont care about the fog lights, but is there anything i need to do for the air to flow? is its not a big deal?

When you have the CSL bumper, i think the fog lights will be cancelled but there will be an air intake on the left side of the bumper, just like a fog light, that is the one for the air flow, but nothing on the right..
Take a closer look at the pics and you'll notice what Im talking about..

[LSB_M3]

Yeah i saw the csl air intake opening lol :)
But do i need to do anything for the air to flow from there towards the engine, or is that it?
