Body Kits: Lips, Diffusers, Side Skirts — Page 14

The “Body kit set (lip, diffusers...)” subcategory brings together vehicle-specific sets that install over the OEM bumpers and side skirts without replacing them: a front add-on (lip, splitter), a rear diffuser and side skirt add-ons, and in some kits also a spoiler, mirror caps, kidney grilles or exhaust tips. Choose a set by generation, model years and bumper version (M-Sport, AMG Line, etc.).

Kit examples: what’s included and for which vehicle

If you need complete bumpers, see body kit sets with full bumpers, and for converting the car to a newer version see facelift kits. The add-ons in this subcategory change the look, but do not replace the bumpers.

What’s included in the kit

Contents depend on the specific set, so rely not on the name or photos, but on the “Package contents” field on the product page. Examples from the catalog:

• Paradigm Black Knight for BMW X6 G06 (2018–2022) — front bumper add-on, rear bumper diffuser and side skirt add-ons;
• Carbon FullSet for BMW X5 G05 (2018–2022) — front lip, lower spoiler, diffuser, rear window spoiler, side skirt add-ons, kidney grilles and mirror caps;
• ABT kit for Volkswagen T6 (2019+) — front add-on with canards, rear add-on, exhaust tips and spoiler.

For individual parts, check the subcategories front bumper lip spoilers, rear diffusers and tuning side skirts and blades. Not every set is sold separately.

How to choose a kit for your vehicle

1. Generation and years. For the same model there are often different sets for pre- and post-facelift versions—for example, “2018–2022” and “2023+” for BMW X5 G05 or X6 G06. The years in the product title must match your vehicle.
2. Bumper version. Most kits are made for a specific trim/package: M-Sport, AMG Line, GLS63, RS6, RSQ8, Maybach. An M-Sport kit won’t fit a base bumper, and parts for an X5 with the M-Sport package won’t fit an X5M—there are separate kits “for X5M F95”.
3. Your actual bumper. If the bumper was replaced after a repair or a replica is installed, compare it with the product photos: an add-on designed for the original shape may not fit a non-OEM base.
4. Sensors, camera, exhaust and tow hitch. For the diffuser, confirm the number and position of the exhaust outlets; for the front section, check parking sensors and the camera.

Not sure? Send the manager photos of the front and rear of the vehicle—he’ll help identify the correct version.

Materials and finish

This subcategory includes ABS plastic kits (gloss black, with a choice of white or black, or primed for painting), real carbon fiber, and forged carbon. Style names—Paradigm, LRT, MNSR, BRB, Wald, TRD, Modelista, Black Edition—describe the design, not the original origin of the parts. A paint-ready kit should be test-fitted on the car first, then prepped and painted to match; even pre-finished black or white may differ slightly in shade from the factory paint.

Installation

Vehicle-specific kits install into OEM mounting points, but the fastening method varies by set: clips, brackets, bolts, double-sided tape or adhesive/sealant. It’s best to have a professional install the kit—you can fit it at DD Tuning’s network of certified service centers, and the manager will suggest the nearest one. Keep in mind that a front lip and lower add-ons reduce ground clearance—on SUVs driven on dirt roads, this is especially important.

Manufacturers in this subcategory include GBT, 1234 Upgrade, DDCarbon, HongHang, Libao and Niken. Other exterior tuning parts are collected in the body kits section, and carbon parts in carbon add-ons.
