That's so funny that you did this too. Member poleposition and I are having these mesh grills painted black as well. Looks like great minds think alike. :thumbup:

TEFF - Here's my review on my lights, based on the PM you sent me. This mentions ALL the lighting mods I did to my car.:thumbup:

The GP Thunders are ok. Since I upgraded my headlights and fogs to 6000K, the GP Thunders don't look as "white". However, when they are on as just as the daytime running lights and no other lights are on, they look great. The White halo's give a nice contrast to the all black front. I also use the GP Thunders on my M5 and get compliments on them on that car too. for $15, you can't beat it. The other alternative is HID or LED's, which will run you around $200, as opposed to $15 for the GP's.

As for tinting the tails, I had them professionally sprayed by my body shop guy. He takes the lights out and does this whole big process to make it perfect. He does all the work on my cars, including my M5 and I strongly suggest taking your car to someone similar. With all the bumps and curves in the light, I wouldn't attempt it yourself, especially since the X5 rear lights are 2 pieces.

Haven't updated for almost 2 year :))

Meanwhile the car reached 88.000km, no serious problems. Just fitted front brakes from X5M and painted them red. Right now i'm waiting for rear ones to arrive.

Hello guys, let me introduce my car
2009 production E70 X5 4.8i, sapphire black at exterior, at the interior black Nevada perforated leather, dark bamboo, fully loaded. I bought the car at 0 km from America and shipped it to me in Romania. Initially the car was stock at the exterior, but a week ago I went to a friend's garage and personalized my car:D. We mounted the Aero-Kit, painted the wheels in black, also painted the front grills in matte-black, removed the roof-rails. Next week I will mount a Sebring exhaust. I`m planning to mount an Cold Air Intake, but I can`t find one for my model:(. And an extra 25-30bhp will be added after re-mapping the cars chip.
Hope you like it

PS: sorry for my bad english:D
