Okay... I'm ready again! (new pics)

Thanks guys.

TamMbALoLoNg got about half of them. The rest are 25mm rear and 15 front spacers, H&R lowering kit (which I tried to show from photoshop as well ;-), as well as body color lower grill and all roundels.

I was NEVER a fan of Black wheels too. My original idea was to keep them in silver and body-color the roof rail. But since I need to fill and re-spray one of the wheels anyway due to a pretty bad scratch last week, I gave it a try in photoshop to what's it's like in black, and I was quite pleased with the result. Hopefully it will turn out as nice. The question now is whether it should be in Glossy or Matt black (I'm skewed to Matt at the moment).

The front is pretty much done now except I need to redo the kidney grill (matt black the frames only and keeping the original titan stripes). Then will be going into the workshop this coming week to do the lowering, spacers and wheel paint job!!!

Will post some pic once it's done ;-)

Don't paint the wheels black ... Ferric Grey would look better (sometimes called Gun Metal)

I think it looks awsome, I like the black door handles and the dividers in the front bumper, go for it

i like it except the door handles. reminds me of the early 3.0 with the cheap black plastic door handles on it

I'll look at some samples at the workshop before making the final decision, but it will most likely be similar to the black for the bumper and flares as I want to keep it strictly to two-tones.

Nazz4 - yeh, I feel exactly the same. So I might skip the handles and since they are not easy to be taken out anyway.

Just got the car back and I'm so happy with the result! Still need to find a way to do the badges and get the car cleaned up. So here are some teasers first :-p

Wow that's coming together nice man. Good quality pics as well. Those are stock calipers painted red, right and you settled for matt on the rims ??

You have more than convinced me to run with 25mm spacers on the rear.

Do you have many other X5's in Hong Kong to compare with?

[RMak]

That's going to be one hot X5!! Can't wait to see the finished product.

I just got these eBay roundels and am pleased with the quality and fit. They all fit great and are as good quality as the OEM ones, no stickers.

looks good...even the time attack line on the rims.you might get tired of it though
