Is that all?  I'm pleasantly surprised.  :). Even the square exhausts (behave pvr >:( ) are about £500 so that's pretty good all things considered.

Its just the front bumper, side skirts and rear diffuser that are included in that 3K, the pipes were already on it.
The removed bits will be on ebay when I get home, along with a some other BMW bits :)

Round exhaust pipes remind me of the old skoda jokes-handles for a wheel barrow!

Rectangle is where it is at!

Ok my understanding is I need the following:- (once I have purchased th ecar lol)

front bumper
side skirts * 2
rear diffuser


roughly comes to £1300, + mesh for the front bumper did you also need to change the brake ducts? I'll get my bodyshop to paint it as a PJ, but I am thinking I may also get the wheel arches, bottom of the bumpers etc colour coded at the same time.

Have you lowered the car? I lowered my x5 so from the pics I couldnt tell if yours was lowered or if you have spaced out the alloys?

Great looking car i love it!.  I'm hopefully getting a deposit on the X5 today so then i'll go shopping at the weekend I have a few id like to see.
