All, bumper replaced, X good as new again!

Brought GraemeX5's bumper last weekend, fitted it over yesterday/today, along with a new pdc.

Thanks everybody for all the advise and help, especially shadrak, greameX5, and our consultant mechanic Sanj  :thumbsup: :beer2:

perfect match on the colour code. bumper aligned nicely.

some pix below:

rest of the car looks a lot worse than the new bumper  :P that's after a 320m round trip to sheffield before changing the bumper, didn't have time to wash plus no point cos it'll be doin another this week.

old bumper now on fleabay.

my mate tells me that his chayanne has a nice fix, which i can't sort out on the X.

his front pdcs come on below a certain speed.

E53 can be configured to switch the pdcs on below a certain speed (with the scanner), but then all 8 incl rears come on. and that way when in traffic it will be internally beeping..

then again this is old technology.. who needs beeping pdcs.. better solution is a load of cams like on teh  E70..  :P
