Autotecknic made two kinds:

A matte and a gloss one. I'm not sure how the fitment is, but some people have their carbon fiber side mirror covers and say that the fitment is spot-on. I hope this helps!

hmmm no I like the carbon fiber one but how would it look on red LOL

robgutie328i · 01-27-2014, 07:23 PM

thanks for advice I commited and got glossy black. I didn't want to get to caught up in the CF thing. besides plan is to paint or vinyl roof gloss black

got mine in and installed from Autotecknic. they felt lighter than the stock chrome ones. not sure how they compare to the MPerformance ones. fit was perfect snapped right in and the all gloss finish was nice. grill and frame were all the same gloss finish which i liked. Glad they didn't do a matte on the grill like the stock. we shall see how they hold up to rocks and the road. but considering that i already have like 3 ships on bumper not to impressed with BMW paint so replicas are ok with me.

. Ill get some pics later this week. Over all once in the Grill was nice. Next mod is to get the front lip and paint it gloss black.

I bought some Carbon Fibre ones from Turner MotorSports.
They're also available from JL Motoring and are a little cheaper than Turner.
