Question Clear reflector?

I just ordered an 08 White/Blk 328xi Coupe. The first thing I want to do is get rid of that yellow reflector on the front wheel well's. Do they make a clear lens? I've seen some mods on here with the reflector painted the same body color. Is that the only way to change it?

Go with a painted reflector, that way you just minimize the appearance of that area in the first place. E92 Painted Reflectors

Cool. The all white appearance does look tight.

I've been actually thinking about doing clear reflectors for awhile now. I actually like the reflector there, but I just don't like the orange color. I think clear reflectors would look good on alpine white cars. If anyone is willing to do this, or knows how to make clear ones, pls. PM me.

I am sure by next year we will start seeing these clear reflectors, I am just waiting. Until then stop by a vinyl shop and get a piece of white vinyl to cover it up or if you can't wait; get them painted and sell them later when you get the clear reflectors if they ever come out.
