Not sure but I just got mine done last week and my front came from Selma. Body shop said it was the best kit they have used yet and have done quite a few. Included everything. Didn't go with MB because that price did not include freight yet while Selma's price did.

Same here, that's why I'm trying to see from BavAuto, since they also include shipping.

The only thing that bugs me from Selma is that their front bumper has headlamp washer holes, which I don't have.
Not too sure about the finish I'll end up with by having them glued and covered by the local paint shop...

You had those covered also, or they have a bumper without them ?

Yes my kit is from Selma. The kit shows the holes but they come without. Mine did not have them either. The picture on Selma shows it but read in the description they are without both PDC and washers.


My color is Glacier silver metallic (A83).

oh i see on the selma it says "without sensor holes" and "without washer cover" so i thought it meant didn't come with the plugs for the actual holes... but your confirming they do NOT have washer holes in the bumper......

ill shoot them a message to confirm before i buy it.
thank you for your help with my questions!

Correct no holes. Smooth as silk. Best part there are no reflectors too. One thing I did not realize until I was about ready to buy. Makes it look even better so you dont have to have the painted reflectors.

1) how much did paint and install cost you?

2) how long was install?

3) did you throw away your existing bumper?

**Charged me $600 for paint and install. This was on the high side as I went to an exotic car body shop that works on Ferrari and Lambos in the area. Wanted to make sure it was done as close to factory as possible on the painting. I know so many aftermarket paint jobs chip much easier than factory and wanted to make sure it was done by the best. I had quotes from 400-600.

2) how long was install?
**Dropped off the car Monday morning and had it back Thursday morning.

3) did you throw away your existing bumper?
**Nope holding onto it for now. I thought about listing it on eBay since I have seen them sold from 150-250 bucks, but also thought about keeping it just in case some day I have a wreck. Never know :-)

Wish Selma had front bumper with pdc cause the deal is a steal, the front lip cost around 250. I bought the whole m sport replica for 795. Going to get it painted and install for 900 this Friday.

I've been to Selma's warehouse, they have multiple kits with different configurations. Ones with washers, ones without. Ones with/without fogs. Different rear diffusers. Just call and ask what is available, and they'll mix and match for you if you need. They are pretty chill dudes over there. Between me and you (and the rest of the internet), I bought the whole kit so the guy there threw in the lip for free! What a steal!

correct i called today, the selma kit does NOT have head lamp washer holes (although the picture has holes) and also does NOT have pdc holes, as well as no side reflectors which is pretty cool.

i ordered my kit today With the front lip and picking it up tomorrow morning in the warehouse.

Just ordered the complete kit (from 2 sellers since I needed PDC in the back).
Now waiting to receive them, have them painted and installed.
