Purpose and fitment for BMW

The presented wing mirror cover has been designed specifically for the BMW E81, E82, and E87 series, intended for the left side of the vehicle. The geometry of the mounts corresponds to the factory attachment points, which allows for installation on the original mirror housing without the need for modifications. Such a fit reduces the risk of looseness, vibrations, and leaks that could occur when using low-quality components.

Color and finish Le Mans Blau Metallic - 381

The Le Mans Blau Metallic - 381 color is a distinctive, dynamic shade of blue used in BMW models, particularly valued in configurations with a sporty character. Using paint in the same color code allows for a visually consistent match with other body elements, which is important both for spot repairs and for refreshing the car's appearance. The metallic structure of the coating works well with the body lines, emphasizing the contours and proportions of the bodywork.

Installation and functional characteristics

The cover is intended for installation on the left wing mirror, in place of the factory housing. The design of the element allows for:

• maintaining the correct aerodynamics of the mirror,
• proper airflow around the side of the bodywork,
• protection of the internal mirror components against external factors.

The used nature of the part means that the element comes from dismantling, which in practice translates into good dimensional compatibility with factory components and the possibility of economical repair without sacrificing the original BMW specification.

Use in body and paint repairs

The mirror cover in Le Mans Blau Metallic will work particularly well in situations where there has been mechanical damage or scratching of the factory housing on the driver's side. In many cases, this allows for minimizing the scope of paint work, as the element is already finished in the appropriate shade. This is a cost-effective and time-saving solution, especially for local repairs and restoring the original appearance of the vehicle.
