You could try MStyle also.

If you want genuine and are willing to pay the premium then they shouldn't be too hard to find in the places suggested.
If you want replica stuff for much less there is a place that advertises on eBay and the stuff comes from Lithuania.
A member here, Shadrack, has a kit from them and it looks very good

theres a post on xoutpost of a 4.4 with 4.8is front bumper and rear bumper and extended arch kit from the lemans special edition, looks really nice and individual.

When you say individual, you mean like all the other 'is' models then.....lol (sorry couldn't resist).

from the posts it seemed that there was a difference between the extended arch kit ( im not clued up) and some matt black window trim to match, looked nice plus i dont think the is model was available in this colour. lowered on coilovers too.

The rear arches are slightly different where they go down towards the bottom of the rear bumper. It's subtle though, I would still class that as the 4.8is look.

On a different note though, I do like that X5, it has a OEM+ look which us clean and subtle.

i like it too, the coilovers prob gives it the individual look, the arch kit was pretty cheap too.

That one on outposts is done really nicely and as you say lowered with the kit and matt window surrounds.

For difference in the kit, it's clearer in this pic of the two blue cars. One is OEM is and the other is not (Exclusive models I think they call them):

Hi I have the 4.8is kit from ebay v.good needed slight trimming BUT I dont have the arches my car had them on from factory (le mans edition) so ive no idea what their like! My concern would be matching them into the motled black plastic as there fibreglass so wil be smooth, also is your car facelift or pre as pre would need 4.6kit and facelift=4.8kit

Was only messing ayat. That does look nice though. Still need to sort the lowering on mine.
