Anyone got Carbon Fibre mirror caps?

SchweiZ4 · 06-03-2015, 04:37 AM

You are right.I can see one at $98 and even at $52. Not sure what they worth.

Personally I won't trust an item if there is no picture of the rear of the cap with the pins exposed.
I remember I spent time to check all items and their pins to make sure they were at the exact same position than the stock one.

This item can be a good replacement if someone can confirm: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Replacement-...6ddfd2&vxp=mtr

Hey y'all,question. I don't know much about carbon fiber, but I bought carbon fiber mirror caps around two years ago and now the carbon fiber is chipping away, and I need to buy new ones. I don't want to pay $500 for new ones, but is there some way of wrapping it with something or buying reasonably priced ones without them chipping overtime?
Thanks

PPF and/or Ceramic Coat the CF mirror caps.

Vendors like RW Carbon and JL Motoring sell very nice replicas.

M-Style CF Mirror Caps are very cool. They have regular F30 style CF mirror caps.

Double check the CF pattern 1x1 vs 2x2.

Cheers

I'm looking at the RW Carbon mirror covers. I have a completely stock exterior with no other carbon fiber trim pieces. For those that have carbon mirror covers what is your opinion of the overall look after installation? My concern is dropping $250+ and then realizing they look out of place and taking them off. I have black window trim and the gloss black m performance grilles so maybe it'll accent it well.

Has anyone seen the new gray mirror caps on the G20 m340i? I'd like to have that on my f30. I think it's called cerium grey but I'm not entirely sure.
Looking to replacing my peeling CF mirror caps.
