I'd like to add the front flares to my X5 but don't want to buy the whole kit to do it.

Anyone want to go halves on the kit and just add rear flares to their truck?

Would the rear fit the pre facelift models or that's a different kit?

I believe they are the same

I fitted SE flares to my X 05 model which I purchased from Kelowna BMW in Canada, the part # you have quoted is the same so I'm guessing they are the same. Fitting is easy, no special tools required I simply enlargened the hole in my rivert tool to take the large plastic riverts. What is a pain in the butt however is fitting the small tips that fit onto the bumper, I think the best way is to remove it to get a more professional job. Typical dumb design which could have been so easy to fit, they do some things so well but others leave me wondering. Hope this helps.
