Thanks!! I hear you've got your new bonnet fitted!! Can't wait to see it!!

Kosta - I'd call them clear... Perhaps a slight tint, but I've never noticed a tint in the sun

Maybe they are blue then... The mirrors & lenses were imported from the USA, and never modified... The magnification is back the front for a RHD car, therefore they're perfect for your LHD vehicle in America...

Would you like to purchase the mirrors off me?

[kosta]

how much are you looking to get

[Jaz18L]

You can have them for $300- USD

[kosta]

can you post some more shots of the lenses for me

Upon a second look, the lenses do seem to be tinted blue in the light...

Pics as requested

300 is a good deal and i was going to say yes, i'll take them

However those are not original lenses, they have been cut out of mirror glass and taped back onto the brackets, with double sided tape i assume.

Acs glass is tinted blue, glued onto the bracket with black urethane and has a pronged connector for the heated element in that forward cutout

Kosta, I was the original owner of these mirrors and bought them new/unused from a someone who had bought them from a BMW dealership, the purchase receipt was still in the box.

There were two pairs of identical lenses supplied to me (I still have a second set of spare lenses in my garage somewhere, I can pass them onto Jaz18L if required) and as far as I know they are most definately genuine. I chose to use double sided to tape to adhere the lenses to the brackets as I'd never be able to separate them if gluded in the event of a breakage.

I've never seen ACS Type I mirrors with blue tinted glass, perhaps it was a US requirment or something which appeared in later style ACS mirrors.

thank you
if you can find the lenses, it may make the sale possible

i've had 3 sets of these mirrors
one i purchased on ebay, usa for a limo i sold them on bfc
2 sets i purchased from ebay, germany sold one set to a bfc member
kept another set for my car but the lenses are scratched up

further more i purchased 2 sets of lenses from schnitzer in germany
both sets were identical as well
bad thing was both sets of lenses were too big and they are impossible to find nowadays

all 3 sets had the same exact mirrors
tinted blue, very noticeable just like oem lenses

all had heated elements on the back as all acs lenses are heated
i can post pics of mine if you would like

[kosta]

every set i had look like this

too bad your on other side of ocean...

[Jaz18L]

Thanks Aaron - Appreciated

Kosta - The 2nd set of lenses are the same as the ones I pictured as far as I can tell off Aaron... I don't really understand what you want... You claim these lenses aren't what you want, and you would have purchased the mirrors except the lenses are different to yours, however if I was to sell you two sets of the lenses you don't want, you'd take the mirrors...???
I'm more than happy to supply you both lenses if Aaron can find the second set, but I'm unsure as to how this will benefit you

Devius1 - I'm more than happy to arrange a plane / boat / carrier pigeon to transport these across the ocean for you

Jarrod, I sent you an PM per our previously agreement. Let me know.

[kosta]

sorry not sure what you meant

i was saying if the lenses were original, meaning blue with the heating prongs
i would take the complete mirrors from you for $300
