Hi all
I wanted to get people's thoughts on mixing carbon fibre side mirrors with eBay aftermarket splitters (glossy), gloss black grille and ppf black the top on a mineral white car.

Cheers

I think it will look fine, the genuine parts are gloss black and the show car had both parts

Close enough in color, I have gloss black grill and cf mirror caps

Yup!
Both finishes made to complement each other.

Yes, same here. Although I spent a lot of time looking for gloss black mirror caps without success.

I would have those too, but cf was available as a port install

I chose high gloss mirror caps to match bottom assembly. I ordered the part and had it installed at a body shop. Careful who you choose, mirror glass is very expensive to replace if cracked. Cost was $400 for parts and labor.

Where did you find the black side mirrors?

You need to replace the bumper trim pieces now.
Where did you get the black mirror caps?

I used getbmwparts . The caps come primed, I had the body shop paint them to match the rest of the mirror assembly.

Seeing as I have the rear spoiler in CF, I think the side mirrors in CF will look quite nice.

What are peoples opinions on the kidney grille in gloss black vs cf?

I agree. Go with cf over gloss if you already have the spoiler and like poster above me has said gloss grille over a carbon for me as it's just too much.
