Just wanted to share with everyone the updated VCSL bumper. Previously the VCSL bumpers required either an aluminum carrier or a kevlar carrier to help secure the bumper to the car. In comparison, the oem CSL bumper had a carrier embedded in the bumper. So to install it, all you needed were the 2001 m3 style bumper shocks.
So now Vorsteiner has updated there VCSL bumpers to have the embedded carrier in the bumper, similar to the oem csl bumpers. if you have a 2001 - 2002+ m3 which uses the aluminum carrier, then its plug and play. the later 2003+ m3's require changing a few items. basicly you need the bumper shocks and water bottle. you'll no longer use the aluminum carrier.
Here are a few pics
