How can i get the 05 grill look?

[mspillberg2000]

Hi Guys;
I ordered the 05 Grills to replace my 02 on a 3.0. I like the tilted bigger grill look. But they were huge and it didn't fit, It dosen't have to be titanium....I don't want to cut my hood to fit it either.. Any suggestions on where I can buy the 05 look that fits an 02? I've seen the chroms on ebay, but its not the same as the 04-05s...

Well if you just want the titanium grille, then you can get it at your dealer. If you want to change the size of the grille, you'd probably have to retrofit the 04+ front end, or at least the hood.

i think u can get away with just changing the hood, but i would call a dealer and get the specs and compair the two. I wouldnt try cutting it...
good luck

The '04 headlights are a different size too. I think its a totally different front end...

You have two options:
1) Get '04/'05 X5
2) Buy '04/'05 Hood, fenders, headlight assembly and misc parts required to convert. Oh, don't forget the grill set.
