My 05/R50 had the whole rear bumper clear coat peal off and my 06/R53 the clear is starting to peal off on the back lid, there is a circle about the size of a quarter. I just got the R53, I will be taking care of that problem this weekend.

Nice, did you get Depo/ helix lights and doing a xenon conversion ?

Its small enough in size for me to wet sand, get a can of clear coat, polish and buff it out. I've not been able to get to it yet. There has been a list of things I need to do with my new toy. I will take some before/after pics and keep you posted.

I just bought those from the same vendor, pro tuning lab, with the xenon conversion kit. They don't give you much in the form of instruction. My wife hit something and broke the plastic cover on passenger side OEM Xenon HID headlight. Water got in and everything got fried. Crazy what OEM headlights cost, $850.00 each???? I spent 375 on these aftermarket spyders + Xenon package and love the result. See for yourself...
NOTE: All of these R53 aftermarket headlights say something like "Will not work for OEM Xenon headlight package". Not true, totally worked out for me. They probably say that because they don't come with the headlight washers, just the faux cover. All I did was use the original little washer covers from my old headlights, clipped the headlight washers from my old headlights to the new headlights and viola! Headlight washers installed. Very plug and play. Aftermarket headlights will totally work with your Xenon package R53.
