Alpine White with Jet Black mirror covers???

theanhdy · 08-11-2008, 10:54 PM

Anyone have pictures of Alpine White with Jet Black mirror covers? Anyone have pictures of Alpine White with CF mirror covers? Owners with Jet Black, does your mirror cover match exactly with the black plastic pieces of the side mirror assembly?

For pictures of Alpine White w/CF mirror covers hit up FreeBMW (Clayton). He has them on his car and look pretty good.

My car is Jet Black and the mirror cover seems to match the assembly perfectly.

Also, based on what I've seen an Alpine White car will actually look better with Jet Black mirror covers PROVIDED it's running the Shadowline grills, but this is just my $.02

I have Alpine White with sport package shadowline trim and limo tint. I'm hoping it's going to look nice since I already bought Jet Black mirror covers

It'll look great... And trust me, buy the grills!

I agree about the grills. The chrome grills look tacky with the shadowline trim-IMHO. I never understood why they did it but oh well...easy fix.

Hey guys long time no see. I need your opinion on this real quick. Thank you for your help.
Chrome stock grill or shadowline black grill

OR Chrome outside rim with black inside slates?

Would black mirrors look better than white with this tint?

rocketpop · 08-16-2008, 02:37 PM

See thats my car, I love the look of the all black grill!!! LOL

doveer · 08-16-2008, 03:44 PM

I'm feeling the black grill with black mirror covers... I'd imagine that'd look real nice.

Maybe some awesome black rims too.

thanks man....i dont know if i should do this or get the pp caps....or just stay "stock"...i hate decisions...

new2the3 · 03-19-2009, 12:01 PM

I would either keep it stock or get the BMW performance caps. Although $350 is a lot of money to spend on caps.

S54dan · 03-19-2009, 12:35 PM

$350 is no longer the price.. if you don't want to pay for CF paint them

Where do I find gloss black mirror caps???
I have a 2010 128i in alpine White. I want to swap the mirror caps to a gloss black. The issue is I don't care for the M style mirror cap. That seems like all they sell or the caps are carbon fiber. I would also run oem black caps if I could find some.
