Black mirror covers for e92

vitologarcia · 02-20-2010, 12:28 AM

Guys, is there anyway that I can get black mirror covers instead of the carbon fiber ones that are for sale at most sites?

I am trying to have my 335i look as much as possible as the 335is with all the black themed things. (exhaust, grill, mirrors). YES i am envious of the 335is cause my car is only 5 months old haha

edit/ UPDATE: if you want black mirror covers, just buy primed ones from tischer and have them painted to jet black 668 (or to the color of your choice). then just take out your old covers and voila!

perfect fitment perfect everything easy to switch between colors and everything.

Edit/Update #2
guys i am getting them painted for 40$ so the total cost as of right now is
44$ ish for each mirror
and 40 for paint jet black

so its like 130$ for these. easy to pop out and exchange with originals.
no adhesive or anything that can ruin our originals.

I think its an ok deal

i have a trip the whole next week so ill post pictures when i come back. OH YEAH IM HAPPY

or you can also pop yours out and have them painted but it you want to keep your old color buy the primed ones

You could always pop yours off and have them painted black.

+1 they pop of very easily...

just buy some gloss black vinyl and wrap them yourselves. And you can take them off when you are tired of the look. On top of that, it's much cheaper than buying a gloss black cover.

Win win win

vinyl? isnt it hard to work with?

Patrys@BimmerTech · 03-15-2010, 05:44 PM

i tried the vinyl. the shape is too complex for it to come out perfect.

awei130 · 03-17-2010, 12:49 AM

vitologarcia · 03-18-2010, 05:02 PM

SS e93 · 03-21-2010, 10:22 PM

Someone experienced with vinyl would be able to wrap it. It takes alot of heating and stretching of the vinyl to get it to work, but it can be done. I was able to do it, but recently changed it up so the bottom of the mirror is gloss black, and the top is matte black.

vitologarcia · 03-31-2010, 02:13 AM

i am getting the mirrors tomorrow, so ill be posting some pictures as soon as I put them on.

vitologarcia · 03-31-2010, 01:31 PM

JoeyBananaz18 · 04-04-2010, 10:05 PM
