You are a G05 god for sharing this! I really appreciate you taking the time to share all of this with such detail. Thank you!!!

Been looking for this the center part as i have the M sport like you and found it used on eBay but most are scratched up. Mine just have 2 ugly holes in em from the dealer installing the plate .
Might have to bite bullet and get it new. Where did you get yours btw?

Bringing this thread back to life - has anyone tried this option? Half the price of the OEM piece...

Good morning,

Have any of you tried removing these two side panels to remove the plastic piece holding them in place? I'd be interested to know if it's necessary to remove the bumper entirely or if you can simply unhook the clips and slide them off.
