Guys,
What I have here is my new M5 mirror with a Checkerd flag.
The color and shades of the Checked flag on the mirror will match the headlight Euro Sticker(Without the chrome, see picture of my car) that many of us have on our cars.


What are your opinions ?

Hi RacerBoss,

The mirrors are interesting and different. Looks nice.

Derrr, will have to see how it looks after installation. Can't say I am a fan of it right now.

+1 I don't know if I like it or not yet, it's different and different is good, but have to wait and see how it looks on the car

I guess I agree with you guys that I have to put it on the Car in order to judge myself. I am a prototype guy myself, according to what I imagine it should look great. But lets see --- Is there a DIY on the mirrors or am I on my own on that ??

I hope it looks good because just putting that sticker took 4 hours of WORK

sorry not feelin' it also.... maybe if the lines were straight and not broken( ie. EuroStickers) then maybe. I think it could work.

As it is, the "block" pattern is somewhat nagating the fluid curve of the mirror casing, but what do I know. just my 2cent. Good luck

Guys,
I decided to scrap the above IDEA

But thought about a new one and created a MASTERPIECE in doing so.

NOW, since I am so madly in love with what I have made, I shall post of the entire thing installed on the car.

Will start another thread for that soon
