advice on getting new bumper...
 

today my girlfriend drove my E70 to work and when she was doing a U turn, she hit a truck and damaged my rear bumper (the black bit) and also scratches on tailgate and the side as well!!!!!!!:wow:

i think i will lodge a claim at my insurer, but i just need to get advice from you guys, should i get a sport bumper?(coloured rear bumper) or should i just stay with the black bumper?

thanks guys, here's the photo, is not clear tho, i will post some clearer photos later.

Ouch! Sorry to see that! Well, if you paint the rear, then you will have to paint the front. I think I saw a post before with the X5 M painted front and back along with the wheelwell plus the sideskirt. All silver -- for some reason I didn't think it looked good on a silver. It may be fine with a darker color like black. But that's just me. Although you X would look pretty cool with the 2 tone aerokit. that's what I'd go for.

Since your girlfrield caused the damage to your rear, I'd say you get to hit her rear if you catch my drift :D...

This is an all silver X5 M Sport. Don't get me wrong it's a gorgeous car, but I thought it was too monotoned for my taste.

:iagree:

Zoich - I agree.. I saw an all silvered out one and having a silver with the black accent comes off a better. The monotone works on some cars and not others. Silver is not one of them.

FYI: There are a few black rear bumpers on ebay, you may want to take a look.
