I keep seeing random references to the CF headlight rings, but so far no one has revealed a source. Time to spill it! Where does one find these?

 

drphilgandini has a set I think. they're not a straight bolt-on mod...you have to mod the mod to install

Thanks, I've seen Phil's. That's why I got the hots for them! The Umnitza bits are only for MINIs with H/L washers. I don't have those.

 

Umnitza is where I got mine, although they're not much for customer service at that place.

(oops, sorry. I am getting old, didn't read your post all the way through, not much help am I )

 

Actually Matt's customer service is second to none. That's if your able to catch him. I have dealt with him for years on the BMW side of the house. I have gotten alot of parts from him. Has anyone called him and asked him why he doesnt offer CF rings for a standard headlight housing? Im sure he would work something out....

 

You could always send them to Langston for wrapping in CF print vinyl.

 

^ Who is Langston Does his tuff look good?

A local member "Dopamine" has these, i forget where he told me he got them. Looks great

 

Dopamine bought his at Umnitza also. I stand by my original post, it tooks MONTHS for mine to arrive and about 40 emails.

 

yes, but the perfect fit was worth it eh?

 

Yeah.

I wonder how well his CF matches the JCW stuff. Time for an e-mail!

 

In certain light, Lagston's CF vinyl is closer to black like in the photos on his site. Most of the time, it's actually a pretty close match to dark silver with enough contrast to make it look pretty awesome.

 

THANKS ! Nice stuff

 

CF are not rings as much as they are caps on your rings and well i have yet to see it look good .
