Is anyone selling painted rear bumper reflectors?

Can't find them, and its hard to believe no one would be selling these.

Bimmian has them, I believe. The reflectors from the regular F10 M-Sport will work.

Thanks for your input but I need the rear bumper ones. The sites do not have them on there. I guess I'm just going to have friend make them.

I got my rear painted reflectors from IND and they came wrapped so nicely and ready to go. Really easy to pop in too.

Do you have a pic?

Hi Nate, thank you. My good friend works at a body shop. He is going to get it done for me. I no doubt trust your quality of your work, but I'm sure you can understand. I presume others will want to do paint the rear reflectors too, you should put it up on your site. I have another idea that maybe you guys could entertain. The door handles have that chrome strip. Well, what if you sold a vinyl pre cut sticker that covers it either in Matte black, Di-noc CF, or the color of the car???

I am not a fan of painted rear reflectors. The rear reflectors are recessed, so painting them just creates the appearance that you have a hole or indentation on your bumper. With the original reflector, you can see that the recess is functional.

If you are getting a paint shop involved, why not have them fill the indentation and repaint the bumper, then you have a really clean look?

That would require a lot more bodywork and painting. My idea is cheap and easy. If it doesn't look to my standards I will simply put back the original reflectors
