Painted Front Reflectors for BMW G90 & G99 M5 – Euro-Style Aesthetic by IND
Artie Andrinopoulos June 04, 2025
IND has built a reputation around precision-painted reflectors—one of the most popular subtle modifications for BMW owners seeking a refined, Euro-inspired look. While U.S.-spec BMWs come equipped with amber front reflectors, European models do not, giving them a cleaner and more streamlined appearance. Our custom-painted reflectors replicate this look, now available for the all-new G90 M5 and G99 M5 Touring.
Note: Please check your local regulations before installing painted reflector sets, as visibility laws may vary by state.
Craftsmanship Without Compromise
Each IND reflector set is produced using the same level of care and attention as OEM body panels:
- Hand-sanded, primed, painted, and clear-coated
- Double-baked for a durable, factory-grade finish
- Wet-sanded and polished before final quality control
Our reflectors are PPF-ready right out of the box and come with pre-applied 3M backing for a simple, clean installation.
Installation Guide – G9X M5 Front Reflectors
Installing the reflectors is straightforward with a few basic tools. Here's how:
- Turn the steering wheel to one side to access the inner fender liner
- Remove the fender liner bolts using a 10mm socket to expose the back of the reflector
- Carefully apply heat using a heat gun (do not overheat—excessive heat can damage the paint) to soften the OEM 3M adhesive
- Press the reflector out gently from the inside using your thumb
- Remove all remaining 3M tape from the bumper to ensure a flush fit for the new reflector
- Clean the area with isopropyl alcohol for proper surface prep before applying the new part
Recommended Tools:
- 10mm socket
- Heat gun
- Isopropyl alcohol
- Optional: IND plastic pry tool kit
The final result is a clean, Euro-spec appearance that enhances the M5’s front-end design without compromising the factory lines.
