    Black mirrors

    Do you guys think black mirrors would be good on my car now with the black rims? And I am talking about DTM mirrors, not stock ones. And not carbon fiber, but black :) I'm not sure if black would throw off the look or be better now.

    go with it....
    i'd leave them carbon fiber, but who would know black from carbon fiber from 10 feet away.

      They are plastic mirrors though, not CF. I'd leave them CF if it were so. I can get a can of body colored paint for cheap if I wanted to go silver, but I think that the look of black mirrors might match my seats and rims well.

        Black mirrors would be the way to go.
        The BMW 318 is back. With a vengeance.

          I would like the wheels better if you did that. Would flow well with the car IMHO.

            Black for sure. If anything, it's only 3 bolts and a few shots of the paint anyways. Harder to go back the other way if you paint them silver first.

              Exactly what I was thinking.

                  Should look real good

                  The black will go well with the rims and it will leave the DTM mirrors to be a nice subtle upgrade

                    would you paint the mirror and the mount or just the mirror. I have a black car and would like to paint the mirrors black.

                      Leave them silver. Body color mirrors always look better.
