Looking good, although I didn't realise your car came with silver mirror housings as standard. Black looks better, carbon fibre looks ace.  ;)

Thanks for the kind comments.  Another example of my good taste I feel  8)

Ferric Grey mirror caps are standard on the M50d - so you can spot it coming and get out of its way :camera:

The CF caps were semi permanently bonded on; so my bodyshop lads can still take them off again once I change my mind in another 6 months LOL.  They know me too well I think!  :))

I see the CF ones have indicators built in as well - nice touch...

No way was I going to risk one of them slipping off during filming ;-)

You're just right. How many times have we all left something balancing while we moved away just to see it wait until just out of reach and then BAM! It's over!  :'(

Decided not to get ACS bonnet slats as they seemingly no longer make the CF edged ones, and chrome is a bit naff IMO.  However, ACS have managed to leverage a couple of ton out of me by dangling a nice shiny I-drive Blackline cover in front of me (oh you seductress you, ACS!!) 
Rear diffuser collected by courier this morning so MStyle should receive it tomorrow.  Hoping the Performance side skirts and diffuser will therefore be on before Xmas.

Zoomed in and easy to see CF on caps.  Maybe the retina screen on my Ipad enhances the pics.  ::)
