Carbon Fiber Mirror Covers
« on: April 19, 2009, 10:52:49 am »
White Edition 30, black wheels,  :jumpmove: scratched right mirror cover.
I think I am ready for some carbon fiber mirror covers now.  :party:

Seibon makes them, but are there suppliers closer to home (Switzerland)? Like in Britain or Germany?  :drinking:

Anyone here fitted carbon mirror covers?
What's the price?

If I had the dow, I'd carbon fiber the whole car.   :jumping: But that   is just daydreaming.

Mirror covers are fine for now. I like my car in white. The only thing I also consider is Oettinger rear bumber (the one that has black stripe in the middle, like on their www.oettinger.de page)

that's my favorite bumper:

I don't know specifically about those on eBay but IIRC someone got some and they weren't exactly as advertised!

OSIR's carbon products are all available from the TTshop 01234 855 555 (Abi or Justin) but are very costly due to the foreign exchange rate. OSIR are in Hong Kong. Their mirrors are replacement covers not wrappings.

You could wrap your whole car in carbon vinyl for about £1,500 - Read my Review on carbon vinyl interior.

Hope This Helps,

Replacement covers much better than stick over.

Unless perhaps if you were carbon vinyl covering other exterior body parts, then a more consistent match would be better.

If you want to see how good some carbon vinyls can be, check out my thread here : -

They have taken originally black covers, put a layer of carbon on it, baked it, and then clearcoated it. Fits as an original and imo looks great with inpro darkened turning lights.
