Carbon Mirrors and general porn

With a little nice weather today, fitted my recently acquired carbon mirror covers and got out the polish. Tomorrow, the 19 inch summer wheels go back.
Black is a pita to keep clean, but when it is, it cannot be beaten!



















And last but not least, my old e39 M5.....(missed badly)

Very.
Just prise on the back of the mirror until it snaps off, then you'll see 3 retaining plastic bits inside. Squeeze and push and the cover comes off. Reassembly takes 30 seconds. Easy diy job, really.

Are these the OEM covers or the ones from eBay? Either way, they look great!

Not oem, nooo! I have better things to do with £400 odd!
Came from the far east via ebay in less than a week! Fitment and quality seem fine.

Would appreciate some wider angle pics of the mirrors on black - not seen that combo and may be tempted.

Some wider angles as requested.
I'm really liking the subtlety of this.

Looking good, though not doing any good to my modding itch

So where are the rest of the pictures mentioned in the title? I can see the pictures of the carbon mirrors but the other pictures promised seem to be missing, this thread seems to have over promised and under delivered

Whilst on the wider view you can't really tell when the car is in shade but in the flesh I would imagine they look great and are clearly visible especially in the sun, I want to get some but I must resist.
