It could be the lighting, but your lower rear brabus lip does not match - looks like a solid/alpine white compared to your vehicle's diamond metallic white. Other than that, great mods .

It's the lighting. I wasn't about to cheap out on the paint. I had to adjust the contrast and brightness on the pictures to show the kit - believe me - the paint matches. Besides, I already have an alpine white x5 coming this Saturday. :-)

That's good, glad to hear it . Congrats on the X5! Join Bimmerpost. I have a '14 F15 X5 50i X-Line in Mineral White and absolutely love it. I'm doing some big mods currently. Great community of members. If you ever need coding help, let me know .

Body shop did all the work. Front add ons I believe are double sided tape but there was some holes for wiring that needed to be put in, same for the fenders, as the Brabus logos light up.

Just a quick question. Did the body shop remove the rear bumper to install the brabus rear lip. I just received mine and Im having hard time installing the rear lip without taking off the entire bumper.
