E86 M front bumper questions

[Simn]

Hi (excuse my english)

Im changing to a E86 M front bumper from a standard front bumper, my questions:

1. How do you do with the fogs? They disappear, you just unplug them? But will it generate some errors?

2. Is it possible to just swap straight on the "headlight washer thingy" to the new bumper? Yes the new bumper got holes. What happened if i just ignore to install them and decide to have a body shop fill out those holes?

3. I read some ignore to buy these brackets (that fit onto the air ducts) because the brake air ducts are actually quite secure when held only by the access panel without the bracket. Im thinking of this to save some €, someone here done this? Or its completely stupid?


Thanks,

I put a M bumper on my e85 I just unplugged the foglight then wrapped them in a plastic bag and tape then cable
tied them up out of the way, I didnt get any bulb warning lights come on or errors on the dash

I would get the brackets - I damaged the clip on the top of one of the ducts and it became very loose. Even with some very tight cable ties holding it to the bracket it moves way more than the other one.

Thanks, but the headlight washer thingy is straight swap on? Same with the caps for them?
