AC Schnitzer body kit on order. - Kit cancelled - see first message.
Yippeeeeeeeee

Been to our dealer this afternoon and ordered an AC Schnitzer body kit (front and rear), an OEM trailer hitch (rear - obviously) and titanium kidney grilles for the front.

We love our X5 but we've never been keen on the non-body-coloured front and rear bumper.

Hopefully these mods will give the car even more bling!

All changed.

Decided to go for a simple body coding for the front and rear bumper. Being done at dealer next week. Still putting the titanium kidney grilles and titanium air vents in the bonnet though. Promise to post pics on completion. We're getting our MINI's wheel arches done at the same time.

Finally got our front and rear bumpers sorted out. In the end we decided to go for a simple (and relatively inexpensive) option of having the black bits on the front and rear bumpers colour coded to match the rest of the car. The job was done at a BMW dealership - Menzies in Stirling, Scotland. They used official BMW paint and their work is guaranteed. Their hospitality was excellent and we are both delighted with the end result. See for yourself..

Total cost £580 inc VAT.
