The presented fog light cover is tailored to the front bumper of the BMW X5 E70 LCI (facelift) version and is mounted on the left side of the vehicle.

The grille structure is designed to provide adequate airflow to the fog light area while maintaining a compact, orderly surface. The component is profiled to the specific shape of the bumper, which facilitates installation and ensures a stable fit without the need for modifications.

• preservation of the original styling line of the X5 E70 LCI model,

Condition, installation, and service application

The fog light cover is a used part, which in practice means an economical way to repair a damaged or missing component in the front bumper. The product is suitable for both local repairs after minor collisions and comprehensive front-end restoration when it is necessary to replace several components from the Bumpers and reinforcements category. Installation is carried out in the factory location, using the mounting points provided by the manufacturer.
