Stand out like a sore thumb on an F30 and not in a good way.

Proper M3 ones are nicer and suit the M cars.

I think the view from the front end is ok but the view from the driver seat would just bug me.
Just don't look right at all.

FFS they look same and look better than standard covers on F30 .

I don't understand the comments on this forum sometimes , I personally think people should keep all negative opinions to themselves and just appreciate if ONE does any mod to the car

Come on get out of standard OEM look Shell and explore .

Totally don't agree mate, what's the point in just having a load of comments all saying 'it's great' 'looks amazing' etc

This is the real world where we all have different views and comments, just because a comment does not agree with the OP does not mean it's wrong

If you can't take honest feedback both positive and negative then you should not post.

Looks ok from the front as said.

But from the back ....... this doesn't look good, if I'm honest. I wouldn't want to looking out on this every time I use my mirrors. Looks stuck on.

I don't think there is a need to buy every mod going for your car.

And at £200 a set for a couple of clip on caps.....

Plus a fair few of these mods are paid for by companies or sponsored, just secured another one thats been funded.

Indeed, if they are giving them away to you, then carry on.

These aren't stuck on mate, these replace the old cap?

Or am I missing something?

I would say it's a pretty good forum with a balanced opinion on most topics.

If you want some more honest feedback post on Pistonheads and then see what happens.
