I'm loving this too... Do you have a link or color/type description as you seem to have nailed the color.

Thanks in advance

Blue Standard Mirror Chrome Vinyl Wrap Roll with VViViD XPO Air Release Technology - 1ft x 5ft https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B017BVY4C0/..._lwSSDbGMQ8S2Y

Used this one! I wanted it to be glossy and bright since its very dark behind the grill. Cane out perfect as the light reflects off it just right in the day.

Zyzzthetic · 10-25-2019, 04:59 AM

Also changed my mirror caps to the eBay $30 M-Style CF ones. Good quality, but doubt its real carbon. Although the pattern is spot on and looks legit, 10/10 would recommend!! Was a nice easy 10 minute install with a pry tool. Here are some before and after pics

WRT vinyl wrap: dont expect any issues from the heat? i've never used the stuff, so i just dont know what it can withstand...

it *does* look great!

Any issues with wind whistling through the gap between the mirror and the car body?

Kewl and thanks, I found the VViViD wrap, but will look at the color now.

First night in car yesterday and it amazed me how "BRIGHT" the mirror turn signal is. The edge is so bright, actually distracting while turning. Just talking about the edge facing towards the car (on both sides). Has anyone covered that? Thoughts?

I mistook those lights for another car beside me at first, but have gotten so used to it I hardly notice it now. Also had to get used to the white instrument cluster lights but actually prefer that now over the orange-red glow (old eyes).

I tried the ones from IND and had to return them due to this. It was unbearable. Loudest at like 45mph.

MichBadger · 10-29-2019, 02:22 PM

I drove home from work with the top down. Probably for the last time this year in Michigan.

Ron Jeffries · 10-29-2019, 02:55 PM

Me too and it wasn't really warm enough

sandrik93 · 10-30-2019, 01:49 PM

Went from square 461 to staggered 436 setup with MPSS. Finally ditched all-season run-flats.
Installed front smoked reflectors as well.
Now waiting for the front lip and black grilles..

Nice... Did you smoke the reflectors, or get smoked reflectors, lol? Serious question as I hate the orange.

Bought on ebay for 20$

VasWander · 10-31-2019, 09:35 PM

I had the exact same damage from a block of wood - Alpine White performance edition. I made the claim and my insurance over-estimated the damage. I only needed a new front splitter and underpanel - decided not to have the new splitter painted (the black matches great and likely to happen again). Was around $500 in parts and $800 in labor.

cooolone2 · 11-01-2019, 07:56 PM

Removed those pesky stickers on the sun visors... MOD #1, lol...

Noticed a scratch on the drivers inside door handle??? It starts..! Lol

One week old and you notice every little spot, etc. Hahaha! Had a week of rain, so today was first day out for a nice drive

Climate Changer · 11-02-2019, 01:13 PM

Coded Front Fogs to stay on without headlights. Looks nice at dusk.

Isn't that kind of tough for oncoming traffic? Those lamps are bright.

Hpirx · 11-02-2019, 08:29 PM

Took the summer tires off (17" 255s)
And put the stock Pirelli P7 run flats back on. Weren't as terrible as I dreaded. The P7s are definitely undertired for the 240, but in retrospect, the 255s (had them from my previous E90 3 series) were kinda overtired. Very stable at 80+, but massive understeer. In pursuit of the happy medium in the spring.

Clear_Blue22 · 11-04-2019, 05:02 PM

Installed a DINAN midpipe on my 230i LCI attached to a Dinan 240i freeflow exhaust with a Mperf diffuser to match. It's a whole new beast of an exhaust note with very minimal drone thats only noticeable when under load accelerating above 2,500 rpm.
