E90 Side Reflector Deletion

Youngbp04 · 11-29-2010, 07:09 AM

I know this topic has been discussed to no end but I searched and haven't found much on using BMW factory touch up paint.

I know you can get vinyl that is pretty damn close to color match but not matching exactly is going to annoy the crap out of me (before I get flamed, hahaha, I know that the paint will have "aged" some so the touch up may be a bit darker but my car is new and will not have any significant variance).

Will this method work, or is it not worth the ~$33 from amazon to buy the paint? If it does work, what is the best method of application?

Also, I am open to other methods of deletion!

Thanks all in advance!

They sell the reflectors pre-painted, they have every color, here you go:

Why bother? Just pay the $65 for painted reflectors and be done with it.
