@busta1978, Looks Great. Especially with the non reflector by default bumper.

I've noticed that the newer white X5's are coming with the white rivets holding on the wheel arch part of the bodykit, looks much better. The earlier whites had black rivets and it looked terrible, like it had been shot at. |

You are so right, such a nightmare to do this, like unbeliveable. One side is now done (right one from driver seat point of view). I did not dare to disconnect any pipes, or something like that. I only managed to get two locks in from the inside (far right and far left). Will do the other side tomorrow. I good friend of mine helped me, which was helpful (very).
How difficult was the other side on your diesel? If I purchase the open lower part do I need to set up the sensors for the parking? I of course also used glue I posted, it seems really strong. Cheers! Quote:

Does that grill trim come in a darker color? Is that dark grey? I'm looking to change the kidney grill trim to a darker color than the chrome on my wife's X5D, but also like those fins on the lower bumper too. Is this for both? Can the dealer install both? Anyone know how much? |

I have the Carbon Black M Sport so now the exterior has no chrome - I think it has more presence and looks different, in a good way. I looked at the BMW Store on bmw.co.uk and also ebay.co.uk where BMW have a comprehensive parts catalogue. |

@1230vani,
The diesel is harder on the passenger side as there is the AdBlue tank sitting behind it. I did got first hand experience when installing for one of the forum member X5 35d. He changed the grill into an open grill, so I uses the opened section to stick my finger in and push the locking ring into place. I tried opening up the bottom cover, but it didn't help me much in securing the locking ring. One thing that I didn't give it a try and I just recently thought of it. Maybe by taking off all of the screw holding the bottom of the bumper to the chassis will allow you to push the bumper out a little bit and reach in to place the locking ring. But, looks like your glue and 2 locking rings are holding up.

Photos of the righthand side where the adblu tank is (had no clue before r33 told me what it was). This some type of foam that surrounds adblu tank and you cannot remove it from this side, only from the top. Did not go there. The right breather i dislocated from the inside and then got some room to put in the far right lock. Buy many of these locks if you try to do it yourself method. Cheers

Looks beautiful! Every time you guys make the Space Grey look better, a part of me wishes I got this color (my second choice), especially considering my current work in progress . Nice job, Ivan .

Thank you. Color is great, but boring as my previous car also was space gray, my advice to all is to change the color, as it gets boring after a while. I would go probably for white next time around! It will sound silly to some, but the hood stands out when you drive and is cool to see it in front of you. With space gray it kinda blends in with the road. These M50d stripes look awesome on a white car.

@1230vani, it looks great.
I have seen it in any colors combo and it still looks a very nice addition. Without it, the front bumper looks incomplete.
