Side Mirrors: Polished Blk or CF

reddemon73 · 06-10-2014, 04:37 PM

All,

I will not be taking re-delivery of my F32 until second week of July but I am already buying mods for the car. So far I have CF performance spoiler, alpine white side marker (for the front bumepr), and polished blk kidney grills.

My car is alpine white with coral red interior. I want to wrap my side mirrors. What option would everyone recommend? CF or polished black?

CF is the new chrome. Black.

Flame suit on.

I got you beat. I order and received parts for a car I haven't even ordered yet. I got my brother a birthday gift too, his M4 is ordered but hasn't been sent to production yet either.

Where did you get the alpine white side markers from?

Ha! Agreed. CF has never grown on me. Leave the mirrors stock, or go black if you have a compulsion to change them.

I don't think carbon fiber belongs in the visible parts of a car to be honest. It looks tacky to me, gives your car a ricer feel. CF is a performance material meant to offer strength and low weight where it matters, not a show piece. Especially when no internal parts of your car contains any CF at all.

YES!!!

I thought it was just me.

Now, the CF roofs on the M's, those are acceptable.

And that's why you also need!

I like CF. It's industrial looking but subtle. I think it looks classy.

I have the CF interior. I'm going for the exterior now.
