Looks better the other way around IMHO. I miss my Alfa!

Bit more information. Bought as a bit of a gamble to replace OEM silver mirror covers which are slightly scuffed and the carbon covers were much cheaper than spraying the oem items.

The carbon is aboslutely top draw as you would expect from an Official BMW Performance accessory. They retail at £250 each mirror so 500 quid of official BMW bling sitting on the drive. Not that I paid any where near that price (come on it is me )

As I say bit of gamble but confident I can get my money back if not make a profit on them so worth a punt imo.

My main concern is Joe Dickhead in his pimped out shit can of a BMW going to want to help himself to them? If he did, there not easy to get off so I would imagine Mr low intelligence chav w@nker will probaby do alot of damage removing them if his magpie eyes spot them and fancy taking them Worst case he could take the whole mirror which is a bloody expensive item to replace not to mention even more money if mounting points / brackets are damaged / snapped off

Not right we have to worry about Mr Chav Tw#t but it may be a nessecary reality in today's world unfortunately. Or am I just a worried paranoid fool ?

Looks good Monty but respraying the car may be a more expensive option tbh

Carbon wrap?

Another shot which just about shows both options together.

Prefer silver to be honest

I'm too OCD, keep the silver.

Monty, I take it thats not your actual old car as that's at a Sydney beach.

I like the CF. Not because it's CF, but because it's black(er).

Defo worth a couple of tenths at a TD.

Nice rims, BTW.

Actually the Sport Plus Models which were a slightly enhanced Msport just before the model change had Black wing mirror caps as standard.

ok now I don't know because in that shot it looks quite good

Silver for me but don't hate the carbon. Surely getting them sprayed couldn't cost much?

LOL no, otherwise I would have popped in! Only pic I could find of the TI with the shirts and the brembo brakes!

Skirts!

I like them. Breaks up the silver IMO.

Don't worry about the scrotes - if they are going to nick them you can't stop them.

I totally get what your saying Cookie. But I would have to live with a very costly repair bill if they did have a go as Mr Chav isnt bothered about doing a £1000 of damage to some ones else property

I just can't decide if they would be worth nicking or if I m just paranoid ??????

BMW want £120 each mirror but obviously a paint shop would be cheaper.

Who gives a toss what we think anyway?? Your car...do what you want with it.

Should've bought an MBZ anyway....




/go with the black ones.....they 'set it off' nicely. Trust me...I'm Americanish....we represent the pinnacle of fine taste.. innit.

Wot he said, plus don't worry about your stuff otherwise it's not worth having it!

Just put a photo of you in the window and it will scare them all away
