e92 reflectors

mgl · 01-21-2008, 01:47 AM

was bored today so i put some overlays on my e92 front reflectors.

from left to right
obviously the first one on the left is the oem orange reflector
next is the clear reflector
next is the clear with the light smoked overlay
and last is the oem orange reflector with the dark smoked overlay (very rough cut). its looks black in the pic, but the overlay is transparent so you can still see the reflectory-ness.

i know 99.9% of people here love the painted ones from longtran, but just wanted to share.

i like the clear ones, i think it would look nice as well as another alternative to the orange reflectors.

I still like painted reflectors more, although clear/smoked is definitely something different.

I actually got bored one day and wrapped my OEM amber reflectors with carbon fiber. too bad i didnt take pictures.

Shazmonkee · 01-22-2008, 02:05 AM

interesting... I wonder how what body color the light-smoked reflectors would match best with.

BMW DIET · 01-22-2008, 02:34 AM

On AW I prefer the clear but I think body colored is best.

pm longtran

mgl · 01-23-2008, 01:19 AM

heres the dark smoked overlay... pic is with the flash on so you can still see the reflector if light hits it, otherwise its basically black.

Kloogy · 01-23-2008, 06:23 PM
