Front Corner Reflector Options

[mastek]

Painted ones do not seem to paint match exactly on my Jerez Black
And not really crazy about the look (the way it sticks out)

So 3 questions:

1- Who makes the best paint match quality painted reflectors (I have Bimmians = not impressed)

2- Does anyone make flush-mount painted reflectors?

3- Where can I find 'clear reflectors for e90m3?

Thanks

Hard to get them to be flush mount as they are OE reflectors but we do have the clear and smoked for your car.

If you like the flush mount look, you could always go with a Euro bumper but that's going to run a bit more than just reflectors

Another option is taking them out and having the holes filled. They say that cracks start to show after a while, I don't know. So far, the ones reported here are doing fine. But if you go to a good shop and they do a good job then it will look pretty good.


Cheers.

that seems like it should work -- I dont see why it would start to crack if you have something solid to back it up

what should this cost? any idea? $500 at a body shop

1. For painted reflectors I'd recommend IND.

2. If you want flush have the body shop fill them in

IND has oem reflectors and paints it great.
Bimmian is replica reflectors and the paint is blah, not great at all.

I thought i saw someone on here w painted reflectors inserts that were flush ...
some experiment -- they were perfecting -- nothing came of it?
