Silver reflector E92

Hi all

Alot of you guys are painting your reflector and it looks nice but it's not to my liking, on the press pictures the euro spec car had silver reflectors, did those ever go into production? the current production car has nothing at all

anybody know where I can get those silver ones if they exist?

cheers

I never saw a silver reflector....anyone else see this? It would look so much better than the amber on the light colors...especially Space Gray!

I'm guessing that you are talking about a clear reflector? I'm not sure why you wouldn't prefer a painted one that blends with the body, as the clear reflector will look better than amber, but stick out like a sore thumb IMO.

A painted reflector might look good on day one, but if it doesn't fade the same as the rest of the car it will look bad and then you'll never match it up.

I don't care if it fades a little, as long as it doesn't fade to amber!
