I wonder if you can use plastic rivets instead of the metal ones. Then you'd have to see if the plastic rivets are the correct size as the metal ones ... hmmm. |

1) Front Flares: Somehow separate the front flare/extension off those and re-attach to your existing wheel arches - no problems with RBs since they're your wheel arches. 2) Rear Flares: Again, re-use the rear flare/extension off those and re-attach to your existing wheel arches. See this link: How to re-use rear flares The lower bumper trim supports should go on w/o any modifications. Wow .. see they might just workout afterall! If you do use them please update us and post pics. Everyone is learning here everyday! Good luck! Last edited by TwinsPoppa; 03-19-2009 at 03:37 PM. |

UK people - please help with "Lemans" style flares
Okay, was in another thread and availability of the Lemans style flare retrofit kit came up. The original thread is here:
http://www.xoutpost.com/x5-e53-forum/...heels-off.html Here are some related posts from that thread: Quote:

The name "LeMans flares" and "LeMans Special Edition Front and Rear Flares Retrofit Kit" are not officially from BMW. I just used that as I wasn't sure what to call it to differentiate it from 4.6/4.8 flares. BMW officially calls it "Flared Wheel Arch Retrofit Kit". That is just the flares. Below is a link that describes the LeMans Blue SE X5 and also packages like Sport Plus, Premium and Climate. As far as I know, the SE X5s and those packages were NOT available in the USA. Special Edition BMW X5 Models So, my original question still stands regarding the availability of the LeMans style retrofit kit: 1) Guy at dealer just did not know the part# 2) Its not available in the USA 3) Its available through special order but he just did not know the part# 4) Its been discontinued so not available anywhere. UK X5 owners - Is the retrofit kit still avaliable currently? Anyone can shed some light on these or elmos question about the mudflaps with lares? Last edited by TwinsPoppa; 03-25-2009 at 01:37 PM. |

I was trolling through ebay (Aust.) today and came across something that reminded me of you and the above question. It appears that their is an oem mud guard to go with the flares (middle and bottom RHS). Interesting thing is that the appropriate mud guard to go with flares looks nothing like what I have. Also the flares on the 2nd X with the yellowed out number plate look completely different to yours and others, what gives ??

See the last link on my post before your post. It will explain about the Euro only Special Edition X5s. Second, those pics of the mudflaps look like they are rubber mud guards that were added. I don't know if those are OE or not. I have never seen them. I've only seen the kind that you have. So, yet ANOTHER mystery to be solved Last edited by TwinsPoppa; 04-06-2009 at 02:28 PM. |
