Best place for euro fender flares?

Any recommendations on where I can get oem Euro fender flares without the reflectors for a 2013 JCW hatch? Also will I get a warning light if they are unplugged?

another option is to plasti dip the reflectors. the texture almost matches dead on..

Did you pull the bulb or leave it in? I plan to do this, but want to know if the light shines through.

Plastidip actually looks good. Did you do the grill too or is that painted?

i left the bulb in cause i didnt want to deal with any bulb out issues on the dash. yes a night a very faint dot of orange shines through. you can tape the bulb or the reflector and then spray it.

you can see a little bit of it here.

Anyone know if the car can just be coded to avoid warning lights without reflector bulbs?

Did you get it from dipyourcar? I'm assuming you did a tint or a black? I'd like to know since I love the look of yours and I'd like to do the same thing.
