Front Bumper Question

simpleM3 · 01-18-2022, 04:52 PM

I’ve seen countless X5M examples with black center panels on the front bumper. Is this a trim piece or are guys getting theirs painted? The only trim piece I’ve been able to find is a CF piece but that’s not what I’m looking for. See pic for reference. Thanks

I believe people are just having it wrapped…

Yup. All the ones I've seen are wrapped.

Before and after. Got the section wrapped, wasn't too expensive at all.

Get it wrapped in any black color you want. Better than painting it and having to stay with that permanently. I'm doing gloss black on my white x5m but I might put the carbon fiber trim I'm not sure yet lol let's see I might do a carbon fiber wrap on it first 🤷🏻*♂️

Thanks for all of the input. Looking to do mine soon.
