f30 cf mirror caps

nedurland · 08-11-2018, 02:49 PM

hey guys, just got my mirror caps in the mail! i didn't know it would be a stick on replacement, what do you guys think about the stick on? i'm really contemplating returning and going with an actual replacement. stick on seems to fit fine when i test fit but just want a second opinion.

also, any recommendations on where to get the mirror cap if i decide to go for it? i was checking out rf carbon but price seems to be 199. anything better out there?

I'm not a fan of stick on for sure since it makes the surface uneven. I got $110 replacements and they didn't fit. That's what you gamble with cheaper ones.

I bought the Dinan cf mirror caps for my 320i and love them. They’re a perfect fit, look great and are half the price of the OEM version.

Don’t know where you are in the world but check out autoid.uk.com
Got mine for £90 with a discount code, direct replacement & fit perfect. Good match with the oem performance carbon boot lip. May be worth asking if they ship overseas.

I got a couple M4-looking mirror caps off eBay for around £35. They look spectacular imo. Not sure if you're looking for real carbon but there are some really nice, cheaper options out there if you're interested that can be fitted on relatively easily. If you'd like a link gimme a shout.

Edit: Also, what do you mean by stick on? Like a wrap type thing that you stick onto the back of your existing mirrors?
