R53 aero bumpers

Thinking about putting the aero front/rear bumper from an 03 on to my stock 06. Is there anything different regarding mounting hardware or is it a straight forward swap?

The aero front bumper ( if you can even find one....) has two additional parts which are NLA.....And I don't see the aftermarket manufacturers suupplying those out of pure ignorance and stupidity....so even if you purchase the aftermarket reproduction Aero front bumper cover the two end pieces which tie it in a the bottom corners will be open and lacking some fitment.....
