Shadow Chrome mirror covers [pics]

Was searching for carbon mirror covers for a customer and noticed a seller withe these "Shadow Chrome" covers in stock as well, I ordered them both and received them last week.

Was a bit sceptical on fitting them to my Dakota Brown color, but I think they match my window trims and roof railings really well,
they are an easy fit so I havnt permanently decided if I should keep them or not.

Best part is that they were OE housings so the fitment was spot on.

Ill try them out for a while, will most likely fit the carbon mirror once they arrive and do the same evaluation, dont know why I am messing about anyways as my new E will arrive in a couple of months.

Envious you're getting the new E. My C is 4K in negative equity now so no moving on from that for a while. It's depreciated badly. Would love the new E or BMW 5 series but I need to close out the idea of new cars now and focus on saving, paying off the final bit of mortgage for an easier, more in-control life.

Got new winter Alloys for this season as the graphite/polished finish couldnt handle the nordic winter, I could have asked for the same wheel but figured that an all painted surface has better protection against the elements.

Looks a tad bright with my color, but hey, they are my winter setup, they are supposed to look a bit under par

Looks good. Have you added silver strips on the sills/kickboards?

Vic, good to see you have fitted some sensible winter wheels with a decent amount of side wall...

Yeah, a lot of people has carefully aproached me saying that these wheels are better looking than my 6x times more expensive Vossens

However the setup from last winter was IMO even better looking with the polished face and graphite insides, unfortunately they couldnt handle our winter climate and the clear came off, this is why I swapped to this solid color.

That stance/wheels looks awesome Vic. I like your Vossens, but these really do look great.
