robola 46 Posted November 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 Time to do a little change on the mirrors. It crossed my mind a few times before to add some sidemarkers into the mirror covers. So I took the disc and disced a little sloth to fit 5mm thick plexiglass. Ofcourse I wanted carbon fiber on the mirros as wel. So I added 3 layers of fiberglass fabric on the bottom Because the mirror was thicker at the bottom, I have everything worked out fine. This I wanted to do so, cause when the mirrors are painted, this will leave a beautiful marking. Here you can also see that I have the caps threaded. So I can demount everything nicely Here you can see it on the outside. It’s only a discrete change. The next thing I must do is to provide the caps on the bottom with a layer of carbon. These must be completey ready first. Once they’re done, I can adjust the rest 100% on to the thickness of the caps. Everything must fit in the end. I provided the polished caps with a layer of carbon fibre. Now there are three layers of epoxy on. Once everything is hardened, I can start sanding the epoxy tight. Then I have one layer to set, and then there will probably be no more imperfections I can’t complain about the glance though… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robola 46 Posted November 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 The mirrors are in the basecoat. As you can see I changed one more thing. When I was satisfied with how it looked, I mounted the little motor and the glass. Just to see the total picture. Because the glass sits about 3-4mm from the sides, you could see a bit of the little screw that holds the carbon plate. Of course, this was a NO GO for me. So I made a little bump, so you can’t see the screw anymore. Once everything is painted silver, you won’t even notice the bump anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcbrassard Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Nooo your not anal! lol If anybody was that close to your mirror that they could see that screw... well she better be bent over. Perfection beyond anyone's expectation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_paralyzed_ Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Amazing. There are only a handful of people in the world that can modify a high end car like a BMW to better than stock, and you are certainly one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robola 46 Posted December 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 The mirrors are ready I also provided them with leds for when I open the door. About the indicator, I made some test pieces of 5mm thick plexiglass. I also sanded it (1200) cause I liked the light distribution better then. In this picture you can see that I didn’t follow the line on the front of the mirror. It’s only a mm of 4, but I found it somewhere different. As for the lighting of the indicator itself, I’ve tried everything. The best result came from a normal simple lightbulb that I colored with an orange sharpie. On the inside of the mirror, I made a coverplate (polished and painted black) onto the plexy and the light. I certainly did not want that the whole mirror would be lit when I used the indicator. Everything is now mounted on the BMW, but I haven’t got the time to take pictures. To be continued Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
