Clear reflectors on a AW car? (pics?)

I'm thinking of getting either clear or painted reflectors on my Alpine White E92 -- I figure that painted would look better, but I'd like to retain the functionality of the reflector, so white might look okay on a white car -- does anyone have any pics of clear reflectors on AW?

Either works well on alpine white, I prefer painted but don't mind clear.

Any shots of the clear reflector on a non-m3?

I haven't found a vendor that can match Mineral White for me, so I'm debating on going with the clear reflector instead... at this point I have two holes in my front bumper

Thanks for the pics. I agree that painted looks best. Just wish I could find someone that could match Mineral White without having to pay the local paint shop.

I had Clear reflectors on my AW E92 for about a year. I changed it out to painted reflectors once I black'd out my trim. I saw go with painted reflectors. The clear ones started to look a little cheesy to me.
