I'm not a huge fan of the orange bumper reflectors on my e60, so I'd like to replace them with clear reflectors. Anyone know where these are available? I'd rather do this than paint them.

The curved amber ones that run alongside the front wheel well.

I recently bought black ones for my E70, so I would imagine SOMEBODY must make clears too for an E60!

I agree, these reflectors look terrible. I searched and could only find them for the 3 series and M5. Nothing for the E60 LCI. So I finally bought a set and having them painted to match my car. Still waiting to recieve them back. Clear is a good idea though.

Once you get them painted and mounted post some pictures, I'd love to see how well they blend in.
