White Mirror caps

creepy coupe · 04-11-2014, 02:33 AM

I've changed over to white caps. As I thought the silver one looked odd on a white car.

Looks much better. How much did that run you if you don't mind my asking? Install yourself?

I was lucky and found a genuine pair on ebay for £40. Yes I installed them myself, only took 2 minuets.

Wow that's awesome. Do they just pop on and off? Did you search by part number or just "M235i Mirror Caps" or what? I would love to go that route as opposed to black vinyl wrap.

They just pull off with the help of a plastic trim tool.

The caps are the same for the F20/F21 1 series and the F30 3 series.

On my previous 1 series I had a body shop spray them the same grey as the rear valance.

If you upgrade let me know. Otherwise the guys w the painted reflectors are going to do mirror covers as well.

You also don't have the dorky orange side-markers on your bumper I see, do they not come with them over there or did you get paint-matched ones?

It's a U.S. thing. You can swap out for these very easily:

Not really considering the parts themselves are not cheap.
