Anyone fitted one of these??

Post by Sal_1978 » Fri Feb 07, 2014 12:55 pm

Looking for some subtle enhancements and wondering whether anyone fitted this lower chrome bumper bar?

What do people think of this add-on?  8) I think you need another two trim pieces to fit this onto the x5 bumper ..

The chrome lower bar is a really nice touch (and I did look at it for mine) BUT it's expensive:

you are aware as raj points out the bar is near £900, the £50 is the plastic bumper mesh ;)

Yes it will. It's the aero kit that is different I think.

£900  :blink: must bee made out of platinum or something!! Oh well there goes that idea.... Do like the look of the AC Schnitzer kit as well or may just go the cheaper option route and add the 4.8 lip spoiler add on.

If you baulk at 900 quid then AC prices will make your ears bleed!!
