Thumbs up My X is finally done...pics

Ok so it's been around 5 months since I got my X and around 3 months since I started searching for an updated look for it and saw the LE MANS X5 and fell in love. Imediately I started looking for those bumpers just to find out they made those for a prototype X that was never to go into production and neither were the bumpers, but a smile was put on my face when mrbmwx5 showed me a picture from a G-POWER X5 with their version of the LEMANS bumpers and where to buy them, so I did, sadly then got word from a salesperson telling me that although their inventory showed that there was one in stock, they didn't have the rear bumper and G-POWER had stopped making them a long time ago. So I went for an alternative on the rear, MUTEC rear valance because I was at least getting the front bumper and this was the result (crappy cel pictures but more to come!)

I think your X looks awesome! I really like how all the parts came together. Doesn't look thrown together at all.

I think you should try to clear out the bulbs on the turn signals and maybe paint the insides of the headlights silver.

Also, how about a mesh grill in the lower bumper and on the kidneys - would fit that style I think.

When you have a chance for a photoshoot show us more clearer pics.

BTW .. is the rear spoiler aftermarket or custom?

Hi TwinsPoppa, glad you liked the X. I imagine you are refering to the roof spoiler, if you are then it is aftermarket, G-POWER, got it with the front bumper.
