Flush Reflectors inserts available
First and foremost please let me introduce my self. My name is Steve and I have been working with Jinxter for the past few weeks on creating a Flush insert to replace the factory BMW reflectors.
It's been great working with Jinxter as he was the one that took the time to create the originals and molds. To be honest I really did not think there was a market for suck a minor change but jinxter was persistent and we have created a product that does in fact look much better then the factory reflectors. Being as this was a 50/50 project with Jinxter he told me that he is going to offer a Forum discount to M3post members. I can’t speak for him on what the discount was going to be but he is going to offer it to you all when he returns from vacation. I have taken the initiative to post them on eBay yesterday so they are available for order now. We expect shipment to begin mid next week if you are interested in the insert. Feel free to ask any question in regards to these inserts and I will do my best to answer all of your questions. I'm new to this forum and am not on the computer often but will try to answer your questions ASAP. You can find the auctions here : http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...MESE:IT&ih=013 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...MESE:IT&ih=013 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...MESE:IT&ih=013 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...MESE:IT&ih=013 Here are some photo's of Jinxter's car (we will be posting better photo's shortly) |

Originally when the left side was created it was created with 2 tabs. Once Jinxter had started on the other side he realized there is no use for an additional tab. 1 tab was enough to stabilize the reflector. Originally we had included the additional tab and in fact our molds include the extra tab but we remove it for proper fitment.
At your request we can leave the additional tab. Quote:
As for details: For light color vehicles you can see the cut that BMW put into the bumper. It seems as though BMW produced the bumpers, painted them and then made the cut outs for the reflectors. For lighter vehicles it is much more noticeable as the original bumper color is black. You can install these reflectors without touching up the cut but it will seem as though you have a bigger gap. Darker vehicles such as Jet Black and Jerez Black will be much less noticeable and may not require touchups. This is only a recommendation for best visual results. BMW dealerships usually offer touch up paints for your vehicle color codes. We would have included it with the orders but due to shipping regulations we are not allowed to send hazards’ materials. |
