Carbon Fiber JCW mirror covers

Category: Exterior
Price: $350
Private or Vendor Listing: Private Listing
Part fits (you may select multiples): R56
Location (Region): NorCal
Item Condition: Used

Hi Guys,

It is unfortunate that i got into buying these OEM carbon fiber mirrors thinking it would fit my car. Met the seller in person gave him cash, tested it when i got home and found out it wouldn't work.

My Loss your gain, I just want to get my money back.

These are carbon fiber mirror covers for R56. Please note, that this will not fit power folding mirrors like i have. It's pretty much in excellent condition.

I think you can get the same ones in minimania for $795.00

http://new.minimania.com/web/Item/G2.../InvDetail.cfm

I'm selling these at $350.00 shipped to your door in the USA. $330.00 if you want to pick it up.

Or I am willing to also trade for a roof rack for this for anyone local.

Pics below:













I repeat, if you have power folding mirrors, it won't fit, it looks like this on mine

Because I have power folding mirrors. I compared the both caps, and mine are little bigger. They should fit as long as they are non power folding.

Thats why I made sure to specify it so that other people wont make the same mistake I did

No scratches. These are direct replacement for your mirror caps held by the clips.

Damn. If they were power folding I would've got them. I also got some and had to return them for the same reason.

I'm not too sure, but they look the same...and damn..they are on sale..

If you are serious enough, maybe I can compete with their price..and even give it to you lower so I can order the power fold from them...let me know

OEM are a JCW MINI part, where as CarbonMINI is a very high quality aftermarket company making parts that compete with JCW. But at much lower pricing.

Use like a credit card and just wedge it under there. Pretty darn easy.
