Lf Mineral White Reflectors

Can someone point me in the right direction to find the reflectors for a F82 M4 in Mineral White?

All i see online are Alpine white ones.

EDIT: I just checked and IND doesn't list the Mineral White. Odd. I am sure they can do it for you though.

MW would have to be matched by your local body shop... It might take a few attempts to get it right though

The MW was not matching right from the "pre painted" sources, so to avoid complaints, they just stopped supplying it. Its a triple coat paint and very hard to match

I had my dealership personally match mine.

So you will have to get a body shop to do the same more or less.

Great move on IND's part to discontinue stop the bitching.

Got the same response from IND. They said MW was difficult to match. I'm going to pass and keep the orange.

We certainly can and do paint Mineral White but do need disclose that it is a fantastically difficult paint to match when it comes to aftermarket accessories. Unlike a true metallic paint, we have found that Mineral White is actually white with a multi-chromatic pearl. BMW’s standard and metallic colors require a two stage paint process - not including prep, while Mineral White and other pearls require three.

We pride ourselves on providing quality products for our clients. In the rare case that we cannot find a flawless solution, we strive to find out why, and exhaust our resources to correct the issue. As always we use BMW OEM cores for our painted reflectors, including the Mineral White F8X M3 and M4. We’ve considered many variables including: angle of application, paint mixture, the lighting in our workshop, and even the technicians painting the products.

That being said, the potential for mismatch varies from car to car. You can even see this when comparing one MW vehicle to another side by side. Some clients have stated that it's spot on, whereas others have not.
