Only the front lip is ok, but the show car is like carbon all over the place. Not only the front lip but also the rear wing and the rear lip spoiler are carbon!
Damn I didn't have time to see the show car and see how MK it looks

As I know the show car is silver colour. It would look quite weird to have so many carbon pieces on. I think if it's darker colours such as SG, black etc... will look ok with the carbons

Lawrence,

I am considering to add the carbon mirror cover on when it's available (OEM BMW geniue parts). What do you think it will look? Will it be too MK?

Thanks.

The show car is sliver color w/ ACS 19" rim.

Only the cover or the whole mirror? It will look good on your gray E90!!

Thanks, it's only the cover which I can stick it on top of my side mirrors. Just don't want to spend money and make my car look worse

Copy form other forum, time to debadge our car for undercover look. hehehe....

BMW E60 530i
Silver or Silver Grey
12 units bought
8 delivered (all have "LN XXXX" plates)

From the rear, the only difference is debadged car (no 530i sticker), and the shark fin antenna has been changed to short black stick (like a mobile phone antenna).

On some of the old cars, VW passat or Volvo, sometimes you can see a box on the rear parcel shelf "Police STOP" etc, but this BMW has a concealed unit. A metal box built into the parcel shelf and only "pops up" when needed.

From the front, you cannot see anything. The 2 flashing light units are inside the front grille.

Dual interior mirrors; a very small mirror attached right next to or just below the stock one but very hard to see coz the whole interior is black.
