Hi Colin

As you have Le Mans it should have the extended arches front and rear.

On my old 4.4 I used eBay to source a 4.6i rear bumper and had the lower spoiler and lower arch sections fitted to my bumper as it was in better condition.

For the front I again scoured ebay but missed out on a lot, eventually a member on the forum had one for sale and bought that and had it painted.

It is is easier to go the 4.6i route for the front bumperas there will be more about and it just fits to the lower section of your existing bumper, I think Sanj did a how to in the e53 section on it.

Also on eBay there was a chap in I think Latvia or Poland selling glass fibre kits also, but my body shop friend said for me to avoid due to probs with figment and at least you know the genuine items will fit the car.

i like the front lower spoiler but trying to get one is nearly impossible

any breakers wont sell it alone , they insist you have the whole bumper.
