Hi guys,
I want to put carbon fiber mirror caps on my e90 lci, my car is alpine white so i read some where that the mirror caps wont look good on aw cars as a white border will be seen. Is there a way around this as i don't want to spend a bomb just for cf mirror covers from bmw. Any one have good experience with carbon fiber mirror caps?

Thanks.

I think if you get the actual replacement covers it wouldnt have that issue. Dont get a cap.

For the e90 lci the only full carbon fiber replacements are oem bmw ones that cost a bomb.

Oh, I wasnt aware. Maybe you can get black caps and the carbon covers? Or vinyl your caps black and put the carbon cover over it.

The vinyl isn't carbon fiber and doesn't look like it. Definitely go vinyl if you want the cheap look though

Didn't know it was that expensive where you are.

My opinion is that I'd rather have a well manufactured product that looks good than something that isn't well done.

Keep them stock if you don't wanna pay for oem...

.

things are expensive here cause of the import duties.

Does anyone know of a better price than £334.95 for a pair of GENUINE pre LCI E90 performance carbon mirror covers?
