M sport front bumper conversion

I just purchased a bumper painted from a used car at a steal price, problem is it's only the bumper nothing else. I have purchased some items such as left/right fog light covers, center vent covers, what else would I need? I have the base model 2016 bmw 528i

How complete do you want the conversion to be? Enough to make it work, or as complete a conversion as possible? Center vent cover I assume you mean that center grille piece.

At the least, you need (besides the part you already got):
51748049347 - Not sure if your bumper has this, it might or not, you'll need to check

51118059003, 51118059004, 51118060797, 51118060798 - Fog light blanking plates. You don't need all 4, you only need them on the side that does not have a rad in the wheel well. Pretty easy to check, just peek inside and see if you see a rad in front of the wheel. Ignore if you don't have fog lights.

51748049708 - If you have ACC, this part is a bitch to get in. Might be easier to just snip the existing one in places where it doesn't fit, that's what I did.

51117903993 - Foam impact absorber

51118037631 - Bumper support

There's other bits and bobs you might need depending on your cars options. Post your VIN.
