Red is a hard color to realistically reproduce in pictures. The red color in this picture is being changed by 2 processes that will misrepresent shades of red: The digital camera and your computer monitor. If you want to see this phenomena in action, look up the same red heavy photo on your tablet/phone and your computer and compare.

Coral red leather looks much to bright in most of the photos I see, but when I saw it in person it is much darker then I expected. Hence I got it on my 435

I got them from IND, I didn't take any pics as its pretty much impossible to shove a camera in there.

And grill is OEM got it from the dealer.

Anyway, for the side reflectors:
-Opened up the fender cover inside the wheel well, there are three 8mm screws there, just turn the wheel away and you will see them, 2 in the front, one higher up.
-on the passenger side its a bit harder as there is some wiring there so you'll just have to work around it by feel, just reach in and find where the reflector is.
-I then took a credit card and pried the reflector away from the body. Took some time but i think it could be easier if you warm it up with hair dryer, but i didn't want to be shoving one in there so i just had to work harder to pry them up. I started from the side pry the back up then wiggle it and press on the outside etc, just keep at it and it will come off. I didn't want to use a screw driver so i wouldn't scratch anything by accident.
-I then cleaned the residue with googone, dried it and put the IND reflector on, it comes with the adhesive stripes covered by tape you peel off.

-On driver side same thing but its easier since no wiring there.

I like it, smooth in comfort and can feel the road nicely in sport mode.

quick question. Are the rims a darker color or just dirty?

Nice ride! I just picked a 428i in Sapphire Black as well. I'm still on the fence about getting the black grills, but I'm definitely going to pick up those painted reflectors. MONEY.
