Carbon Fiber Wrap

Hello,
I am planning to wrap side mirrors with carbon fiber, which carbon type/print would look on Montego blue E90. I will be buying roll.
I have already performance black kidney grills on my car.

Go with a 3m 1080p vinyl have great success so far with interior trim, roof & mirrors

I am kinda against the gloss finish as opposed to the matte carbon fiber..kind of gives it a dry look and nice sheen in direct sunlight
