The grille in the pic is off an X5M E70 but its "photochopped".Its widely available
as universal and you cut it to size.Its called "honeycomb" because the hole effects.

Most fibreglass 4.8is spoilers have little 'cut outs' for the lower grille vertical bars so it sits right up against the grille. The one I purchased doesn't have these cut outs. You'll see these in photos on previous pages in the thread :)

Sorry,I was a bit slow!I got it now:)
I have the 4.6is front spoiler and that has cut outs too.
Been checking that Latvia seller where you get you kits from and the pic on their website ,of the 4,8is fr spoiler has cut outs ...look:-

He is right!Its supposedly available and for the pre-facelift ,eventhough on the website they have a pic of the facelift and say its for 99-02 X5!!:dunno:

The bumper still looks definitely photochopped to me and not very convincing.They say its an M6 bumper ahahahaa :D
but heres the link and you can pop a question!

FRONT BUMPER BMW X5 99-02 style M6 - Tuning Carbon Hoods Shop

They should have used a proper photochop ,with a pre facelit,a bit like this!

I showed this pic and a few real X5M/X6M's to the GF lastnight and she said she didn't like it because it looks too mean...so that means I should get it, no foo foo cars for me :D I've written then an email asking for more pics from different angles because they're photo looks incredibly Photoshopped, asked for price shipped, so we'll see what they say.

In the meantime I'm still leaning towards carbon wrapping all the black and then the 4.6 kit...keeps the factory clean look while still being modified.

After a closer look of that pic, it does looks fake specially the driver side , also the bumper in the picture is not a X5M/X6M that's a X3 M sport . Which could easily be found here and just have a body shop fuse it with existing bumper since the dimensions of the e53 are familiar with the X3 http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/06/21/6a4ubege.jpg

No, it's actually an X5M/X6M one since the opening below the grill is in a different location. Nevertheless, grafting and all that mess would really drive up the cost of doing this, above and beyond what I'm willing to pay. Even if the company linked above sold that bumper, there's always the risk of fitment issues and whatnot down the road. Threads like this posting of real world experience are invaluable, it looks like these 4.6/4.8 kit have great fitment, so that's why I'm leaning more to my original idea.

Actually the place I bought it from is different. Their pics aren't great and in the pictures there are no cut outs. I didn't realise this would be an issue... until it arrived and didn't fit properly. The seller failed to tell me. I did some cutting and modifying yesterday... getting there slowly.
