Body kit 4.8is

Hey guys,
I have a e53 3.0i with sport and premium package. I'd like to either get a full 4.8is body kit or just the front and rear bumper. Any ideas where I can get it?

Thanks

4.6is:




4.8is:

I've seen the 4.8is (or any facelift 04+ E53) can use the 4.6is spoiler, but it doesnt work the otherway around (4.8is on pre-04) -I think-

Rear spoiler: ProTuning.lv - Tuning Shop. Riga Jelgavas 8

Front spoiler: ProTuning.lv - Tuning Shop. Riga Jelgavas 8

This might not be compareable with the original BMW parts sold by our friends from ECS but to be honest. Are you lying on the ground having a close look at your bumper spoilers?

And look at that prize. Amazing.

GL, Helmuth

Hi Helmuth,
Hope all is good.
These are cheap but also cheaply made as they are fibreglass, which have a tendency to break and split after exposure to different ambient temperatures,unlike the much more expensive OE parts which are ABS plastic and even come pre-prepared with plastic primer.
The seller is also known on EBAY and he had some very negative feedback ,from bad quality and fitment to one American saying he not even received the kit!!
If you notice the pics on website,these are X5 (some from Xoutpost)with OE kit not their own!!!!!
Just want to make others aware of this
