Mineral White Mirror and Spoiler Colors
Hey guys! I have a mineral white M240i with gloss black wheels, m perf front splitter(matte black) and m perf rocker panel film(matte black). Currently i have the grey mirror caps it came with.
Should i; 1. Leave mirrors silver and wrap the spoiler silver 2. Wrap mirrors and spoiler in gloss black 3. Get carbon fibre mirrors and spoiler That is the question. |

#2 but I'd get them painted gloss black. I'm one for fewer finishes versus more. Gloss wheels grilles mirror and spoiler then matte "ground effects" of front lip, decals and rear diffuser if you go that route would look nice and clean and it would be very cohesive from a design standpoint.

I just installed a set of Mineral White mirror covers on my M235. It looks SO MUCH better, IMO. I always felt the silver caps looked terrible and the black/CF caps get washed out and lost in the body lines. Certain angles the black/CF caps look like cheapo rental car caps.
The Mineral White caps give the car a higher end, more robust look, and there's still a lot of contrast since about 30% of the mirror assembly is gloss black. Look at any photo of the M2 and you'll see what I'm talking about. |

I struggled with this as well, and ended up with the no carbon option. I went with gloss black mirror wrap (@ $35 each) to match window trim area (along with the gloss black grilles). I kept the lower front splitter, side skirts/decals, and rear diffuser all matte black (same as mentioned by a previous poster), but kept the spoiler body color.
