Do G80 M3/M4 mirror caps fit G20/21?
Anyone looked at or know if the mirror caps fitted to the G80 M3/M4 might fit the G20 mirrors.
On the available images the mirrors look as they have the same base structure? |

I'd be wary of your plate though - apparently ANPR vans are now taking photos of illegally spaced plates and just sending fines out. |

I always understood that if you mis-spaced or misrepresented a plate then the you could be pulled and get a fine of up to £1k. You would then be required to correctly space the plate and your details added to a DVLA database. If you were a persistent offender then the DVLA could pull the right to use the plate and make you put a normal plate on, but I had never heard of the car being impounded (as it would be if you didnt have any insurance). Of course an illegal plate is an MoT failure so technically they could impound the car until you make it roadworthy with legal plates but beyond that I think they may struggle....

Either way, just space the plates legally! And this is as me who owns a private plate that would "spell" things if spaces correctly. It just looks chavvy |

I agree with you on the last bit, mine is spaced legally and I would never risk tampering with that.

Had these plates for four years, tinted front & rear with illegal spacing- No issues. Think the first fine is £100, when & if that time comes il pay it then change them back to legal ones so they dont get funny second time. I know a few of you don't like it, but for me it sets the car off, especially against the davit grey.
Been told off once by the plod, I always have a real spaced set in the boot, as long as you can put them on at the roadside they can't do anything, which is exactly what I did. Had an S3 before this, again never had issues. I don't have all my cars illegally spaced, just this one, I keep my Panamera legal, so don't worry I'm not all that bad! Have heard about these ANPR auto sending out fines!! Carbon mirrors were a doddle to fit, didn't take long maybe 15 mins per mirror? Thought id put them up so you could have a little look, not sure what it is about them but love the fins on them. Jack Last edited by JM13RS; 11-27-2020 at 10:32 AM.. |

I'm only trying to help here by the way - this is coming from someone who got caught speeding, then they decided to report me because of my plates too. Double whammy! Safe to say I have compliant plates these days. |

They look great! How's the quality of the finish? Mine have started to get yellow discoloration. If you don't mind me asking, do you have the link for purchase?

For eg: the x3 LCI just got m mirrors in the m40i, so they seem interchangeable |
