DTNJNQ · 04-26-2008, 10:15 PM

Has anyone seen or got photos of carbon fiber mirrors / spoilers on a black car. All photos so far have be on a white car.

Very good question. I have the CF spoiler but have awhile to wait until I get my black car.

i doubt you would be able to see it good, maybe on a nice sunny day with a good angle you'll see the reflection of the CF opposed to the black, but only a very good guy and enthusiast will see a difference.. i wouldnt care i'd get it on a black 135 but i think im sticking with AW

I've ordered the cf mirrors and rear wing (currently on national backorder), I'll post pics when I get the parts....I have Jet Black.

Will without question look the best on Black.

I was thinking of painting the CF spoiler JB to match the car. Maybe I'll reconsider it.

does anyone know if you can fit a cf spoiler to a convertible or is it design to only fit the coupe?

I will try and get some pics up for everyone once I bite the bullet!

Carbon Fiber is not well appreciated in Europe, something about the splintering under impact creating an additional hazard, but there are some pieces available for interiors.

i ll have to buy some stuff to bring back from the USA in the summer, will it fit a european car (spoiler and rear diffuser)

mrgoochio · 04-30-2008, 03:26 AM

I'll keep an eye out for the pics. I'm not much of a CF guy, but seeing as how I have JB, I'd be interested to see the outcome.

mtla4 · 04-30-2008, 09:17 AM

Looks better on black.... I dont like unpainted CF exepct for the roof

BMW Dreamer · 04-30-2008, 09:56 AM

I want to see CF interior trim. All the trim.

i'd say that too. sort of cool in an understated way. aw would give the best contrast without getting garish like cf on red or silver.

I can't believe someone hasn't posted pics of a black car with the spoiler. My car gets off the ship 5/12 and I should have it the week after that. I already have the cf spoiler so I might end up being the first person to post pics of it installed on a black car.:wink:

sndprssr · 05-08-2008, 06:28 PM

If you just want to see a picture of any black car with any carbon fiber on it just to know what it looks like in general, I have some of those...

professor · 05-08-2008, 07:53 PM

thanks. maybe it's just the lines on that car but the cf hood does not seem to suit it very much.

sndprssr · 05-08-2008, 09:02 PM

It's not just the lines, plus it was carbon kevlar which has a slightly different hue to it. I was not really impressed with the CF on black look personally. That car eventually ended up with the hood painted black...

it's available from uk bmw dealers. i recieved the catalogue yeaterday, still waiting for someone else to post pics of the spoiler against black before i pull the trigger :biggrin:

Depends on what grade carbon fiber, becuase if its low grade it will defract the light weird and make the black car look worst.
