We sell the rivet gun and pry tool kit to complete this installation if you do not have your own.

As my G05 is black, I will just add a black film over the reflectors, thank you for this procedure, but it's quit long and removing the plastic around the fenders is not that easy as you can easily damage them

I've been looking for these for my 2020 X6 but can not find them. any one got a line to where I can buy them painted?

I found them on your web site & Ordered.

Thanks

X6/X6M do require a different core reflector and can be found at the link below for easy access to our website. Installation process shown in the guide is similar though!

that's the ones I picked up. You guys looking into front lips and rear diffusers for the G06. I can't seem to find anything. Well there is that Russian company but their prices are way over the top.

We are not producing anything in house, and we are not currently aware of anything to market for the G06.

BMW isn't producing any M Performance parts for the G06 at this time either.

You do realize you're posting in a vendor thread! Probably should delete from here.

You do realize that we are all adults here, able to decide what is best for them or no...they can choose for a simple mod or a complicated one

Is there any easier way to do this? I bought these without looking at the install videos thinking it’d be simple but I don’t have half the tools and am definitely going to f**k this up.
