I fitted the BMW aluminium valve caps, so much better than the crappy plastic ones!

Introducing Mr Red Button!!

Installation was not for the faint hearted... Required sanding of said button to make it work.

Just be careful though they don't seize/weld themselves together (which once happened to me at great expense...in the end had to cut off and replace all the valves)...A little grease, olive oil, or vaseline will stop them seizing or welding themselves together teaston

Looks good! I like the white with the gloss black.

I see what you mean with your mirror covers. I like mine in CF and think they turned out pretty good.

button was too thick and would get stuck down when pressing it. Needed to lose some weight.

1)Whistle noise (low frequency)
2)Visual size disproportions at some angles.

I have yet to mess any more with the rear sensor. I've actually grown used to hearing them beep incessantly while in reverse. Lol.

My diffuser should be here this week and the sensor beeping will be no issue to me since I've already disabled it because I find it unhelpful. I prefer just looking at the mirrors and camera with none of the other visual aids except for the tire tracks and even that is unhelpful lol.

Yes we have the same style mirror caps. I experienced problems in pass on my F32 with carbon (from China)., it have potential to deform sooner or later (crumpled/blister). Beside that this style of caps making whistling noise...did u also noticed that in certain angles it become disproportional with body? (In a front)

Haha I hear ya.

Hmm you might be right

and now I'm hoping I get one of these "updated" ones because there was a delay in shipping because the manufacturer was a little behind. Fingers crossed lol

What's the easy fix? This has been holding me off on the rear diffuser... That, and I'm secretly hoping that the X3M rear bumper will work on our cars!

You know what @teaston was saying the same thing about the CF. I'll have to keep an eye on it, or perhaps get the CF relaid properly if this does occur.

I can't say that I have noticed a whistling noise at all... Windows up or down? I have a road trip this weekend, so i'll listen out for it.

I haven't noticed the disproportion - Do you mean size or shape?
