BMW F20 Gloss Black Mirror Caps — The Easiest Upgrade You Can Make

BMW F20 Gloss Black Mirror Caps — The Easiest Upgrade You Can Make

If you own a BMW 1 Series F20 and want to change the look of your car without spending a fortune, gloss black mirror caps are the first place to start.

It's one of the most popular modifications on the F20 for a reason — the result is immediate, the installation takes under 20 minutes, and the difference to the overall look of the car is significant.

Why Gloss Black Mirror Caps?

The factory mirror caps on the BMW 1 Series F20 come in body colour as standard. While that looks fine from the factory, swapping them out for gloss black creates a two-tone contrast that makes the front end of the car look sharper and more aggressive — similar to the M Sport shadow line finish that BMW charges a premium for on new cars.

It's a subtle change that most people can't quite put their finger on, but everyone notices.

Will They Fit My F20?

Our gloss black mirror caps are designed to fit the BMW 1 Series F20 and F21, covering both Pre-LCI (2011–2015) and LCI (2015–2019) models. They clip directly onto your existing mirror housing with no cutting, drilling, or modification required.

How Do You Fit Them?

Installation is straightforward. The caps clip directly over your existing mirrors using the factory mounting points — no tools required. Most customers fit them in under 20 minutes on the driveway.

We include full fitting instructions with every order.

What's Included?

Every order includes both the left and right mirror cap so you're getting a complete set. They're finished in high-gloss ABS plastic with a UV-resistant coating to prevent fading over time.
