Been a while, got a quick question for you about your spacers. Are they H&R DR series bolt on's. Any vibration with them and your opinion, if any, on bolt on vs extended bolt version. BTW the truck looks sick.

He He - Finally Got that Bumper Mounted

Took a while and as previously discussed on the post, you need to find new mounting points for the side flares (the M ones are different to the M Sports) and also the body pan ended up having to be cut.

The bumper does not fit perfectly flush but close enough. I dont have good pics but you also will need to delete the fog lights (either through VO or coding out the lightbulb checks)

ReaR Bumper

Good question - I do want to have a quad exhaust on the back and its not so easy with the M sport bumper (I actually like it more than the M)

I purchased 4 3.5" dimisa tips and am trying to figure out how to make that work - I think I will need to cut them much shorter (lengthwise) in order to glue them onto the existing exhaust.

So for now I am going to try to use the same bumper but frankenweld two tips per side.

The top bumper to lights

The fitment of the top of the x5M bumper to the rest of the bodywork is uneven. I suspect its because there is a small difference in the M top bumper.

There is a gap - I can live with it but it you park next to a X5M you would see it if I point it out
