Blacked out side reflectors

Hey all,

I just placed my order for a PW/B MCS. It'll be my 3rd. Anyhow, what I wanted to know was if I could just take the black vinyl film off my side reflectors from my R53 MCS and put it on the R56 side reflectors? I'm thinking they are probably a difference shape and therefore might not work. Has anyone had any experience with this? I really like the blacked out look and if this isnt possible, do they make them for the R56?

Thanks!

im assuming you are talking about the one from outmotoring... i too am considering the side reflector black out in addition to the jcw grill trim and beltline blackout trim from outmotoring. When you look at your shopping car, you can click on "edit option" and select he 2007+ hatchback model... i can only assume that it will fit your r56...

im not an expert on vinyls so i dont know about reusing your old one...

I'm pretty sure that the R53 and R56 are different in that area as well. I got the blacked out decals for my R56 side markers from Aesthetic Creations. They were easy to install and look great
