reflector lens?

phattbam · 01-06-2010, 12:19 PM

I should be getting an Alpine White X5 soon. I've pondered the thought of getting the clear reflector lens for the bumper(s). Should I do that or get the OEM ones color matched?

Would like to save up and get the OEM Aero Kit later down the line.

i'm only done the front ones for now. I got it from Amazon.com $29 shipped. I have the M Sport Bumpers so i'm going to wait to see how it looks before I do the rears. Looks good in the pics.

^ any pics?

I prefer to get the color matched. It looks much cleaner. Here is a pic of the clear reflector that I think you are looking for. I did a search on another forum. I plan to replace mine as well when it arrives. Did it with my E93 and loved it...thanks to Long.

thanks. I did color matched on my e92 which I need to swap back soon. But I dont have any parts to paint yet. so I might have to hold off on getting the lens. Just fishing for ideas
