On the 2008+ models the front fender (just in front of the wheel well) has an orange reflector. Can that part be added to an older model?

If anyone has a 2008+ that they either took that off or swapped it for clear, let me know!

I am sure you could find a local paint/body shop to cut the reflector spot out and purchase the reflector via

Gary @Newport BMW, info here: http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showtopic=18067

or any other local dealer for the part.

The other options would be to purchase a front LCI bumper. There are a few on sale in the classified section. Member jcool10181 has an AW LCI bumper FS but has the reflectors painted on his. You could also just post a WTB (want to buy) thread for an LCI front bumper, as members may have upgraded to an M-tech kit...GL

May want to post a little info about your e60 when you get the chance as it helps to answer future questions...

Part of the LCI front bumper...
That would be your best bet, but it also would require the extra mounting hardware from the 08's too.
