M2C Front Bumper on 18'LCI
Hi, Guys I know there are threads regarding retrofitting the M2C front bumper on the OG M2.
However, I can't find any details if I need to change the air ducts as well. Because according to my local BMW parts supplier, the air ducts need to be changed as well due to the M2C bumper is much more angular. Not mentioning the foam absorber, bottom under shield and the additional brake air ducts. Anyone which has done the conversion can you please advised? Thank you. |

Reach out to IND and see if they are able to answer your questions:

Use realoem to compare part numbers between the 2. Just from a quick glance the foam shock absorber and the air ducts are different. You may be able to just cut the OG m2 air ducts to make it fit on the M2C bumper.

Because on their retrofit kit they did not include any air ducts. Does anyone know how the M2 Competition ducts look like in actual picture? [QUOTE]Use realoem to compare part numbers between the 2.

Yeap definitely the air ducts, foam absorber, and the under the shield are different. |

Looking to do the bumper retrofit my self soon...has anyone figured out what parts are required to make the brake cooling ducts useable?
Or have people just omitted them from the install? |

I didn't use genuine parking sensors as they are purely cosmetic and non functional (for now at least) But you could probably source a non pdc bumper if that's your preference. Arch liners, I've currently re-used my original ones. They fit and do the job, although not 100% perfect. But I believe the M2c liners offer less clearance than OG ones. The cooling duct, from the outside look as they should. One fitted relatively easily the other had to be modified. Could probably have moved the oil cooler to get it in but would rather modify a cheap plastic part than moving the cooler. Always something I revisit at another time. Any other questions hit me up 👍 |

Regarding the air ducts. Do you think it's necessary to get them? |

Nah the air ducts are not required I just fancied a more "complete" look. I believe IND sells a retrofit kit minus the ducts anyway. But you will have two triangular holes in the lower central grille. Through these holes bolts will be visible so possibly worth painting them black to be a bit more discreet. |

I had no choice as the bumper already had the holes, and they would of been too much to fill. Can't imagine it'd be much more than wiring and some coding |

That would take care of the holes in the grilles and protect your oil coolers and intercooler.
