M Sport Reflectors

Has anybody painted their reflectors by themselves? How did they turn out?

nyczyar · 11-17-2013, 02:12 PM

I did mine matted black, mine came out alright, it's better than orange.

I was thinking about using Lens tint spray

I tinted mine with laminx but only the rear reflectors not the lights and it looks pretty good imo.

Are you talking aboutthe rear red reflectors or the front orange side reflectors?

I used some VHT Nite Shades spray tint on my rears and they didn't look really good. I ended up going back to the normal red reflectors. This was on a Grey 335i M Sport

I tinted both front and rear. Looks good and will be easy removal at lease end. My car is black sportline though.

I was going to paint but ended up getting the IND reflectors front and rear.
Paint match for the front was exact and I can barely notice they're on and I highly recommend.
For the rear, I would try the pasti dip method which I saw another post on.
I bought the rear m-sport colour matched but kinda regret it because you can't really notice the paint and I could have saved the $. My car is black sapphire

How about plasti dipping them?

Rasengan · 11-20-2013, 08:48 AM

i'm waiting for aftermarket to produce clear ones since they will go quite nicely with alpine white...i'm not too crazy about painted reflectors

priyenkpatel14 · 11-20-2013, 06:20 PM

my car is EBIII so I was just planning on blacking out the front side bumper reflectors and the back reflectors. I've seen the IND replacements and I'm considering those as well

priyenkpatel14 · 11-20-2013, 06:24 PM

actually color match on the front

I've plasti-dipped my rears. Looks decent.

Do it the right way and have them professionally painted or leave them alone. Anything less looks like an eyesore.

Yeah, this is what I did on my last ones since MSPORT replacements weren't available when I had my 328.
