Are there any image galleries for factory fitted body kits throughout the Elgrand journey?

Had a quick look on here but couldn't find anything definitive, is there any way of seeing what factory options were available? Did they have names or was it based on spec, ie Rider or XL for example (E51 would be preferred if that's all that's available) but I'd love to see what was an extra when purchasing new throughout the years. Even if people want to chime in with what they have fitted and the year it was first registered would be great!

Hopefully I've not just missed this post as it was a quick scout with some keywords.

Thanks everyone that takes time to reply!

These are 2 different 05/55 XL's with the same kit (would guess they are factory fitted being the same year, model and colour 🤔) the lower one has the chrome section missing off the front and I'm trying to find something out about the kit.

I'm hoping to find out which one it is on the 2 above just because I'm looking at the one with the piece missing and I'd like to replace it if I end up getting it.

You'll be lucky to find the missing piece in the uk. You'll have to ask the breakers if any have that bit, but you'll prob have to buy the whole bumper if they do.
Alternatively maybe try amayama.com and see what you can find on there regards trims

Whole bumper was my thoughts but still no clue weather it was X/XL specific or if it was on riders too for example (just to help with my search)

Not sure about the x or xl. Some riders did have a chrome trim but the majority don't. And I believe it is just a stick on part on the rider as the lower valance is part of the bumper on a rider not a seperate section.

I think the x/xl’s were of a pick & mix sort of thing , just as most models ( some had chrome, some were paint etc, some didn’t have the insert).
If it were mine , as I’m not all that into keeping them stock, I’d consider a very thin splitter across the bottom and infill the gap where the trim was with aftermarket mesh ( would kind of look like an extra grill , inter cooler style lol)

Maybe have a look on Aliexpress for a universal spltter that you could adapt to finish off underneath the mesh to tidy it all up

I might just fabricate a replacement for what is missing, although I like the shape of it dropping down at the wheels, can't have it too low (just where I live and drive - Cumbria and around the lake district) will usually be fully loaded with the family, camping gear and or mountain biking stuff 👍🏻
