Advice on where to get hold of some stuff

[aBitDifferentX5]

Hi Guys,

I bought a X5 3.0d E53 a couple of months ago with the idea of building something you won't see in SA everyday. After hours of research, and stealing with my eyes, on the web, this is what I came up with.




As I work abroad, I need to source most of my spares via internet.

This is where I need some help...

I am still looking for Wheel Arch fender flares. I need the 4.6is or 4.8is exstra wide arch flares. Does anybody have an idea where I can get these? I am able to by them in the states and europe, but needles to say...they cost a fortune in dollars / euros.

I also need a advice on the passanger door lock. The central locking does sometime lock, but most of the time it refuses to do anything. What is the best? replace the complete lock with actuator?

They always have tons of stuff even rare parts.

Door lock:
I had the same prob on my E90 I just opened the door and replaced the actuator, works 100% now. The actuator and lock is all in one.

btw I love your X5, I wish I had one like that, I would push all the taxis out of the way.
