My car is Carbon black. I previously had the same colour with m5 mirrors.
The lower covers in gloss black just did not look effective against the carbon black.
I want something that will be a good contrast, without being too showy or 'bling'.
Please help me decide. Thanks.

True.....I'm slightly worried about spoiling the OEM look. Really don't want to look like a Boy racer !
Black Carbon Fiber would be subtle , yet slightly contrasting...................

Sounds a possibility, but am I right in saying, that there is not a paintshop colour code for carbon fibre effect ? Or is it possible ?
