X5M Wing Mirror

Hi all - quick question, help much appreciated.

let the missus drive the X5M today - just got a call, i hit something with the wingmirror!

Left a decent graze on the coloured part - but fortunately no mechanical or glass damage.

I will get the mirror fully resprayed - Can anyone tell me if the coloured part comes off - or do I need to disassemble the whole mirror?

thanks in advance!

You need to disassemble mirror to get the colored part off. May be a good time to consider a minor mod and get black or CF mirror covers. Seems like you have the ammo to justify it with the lady.

Has anyone tried the overlay style CF mirrors? This is only of passing interest to me so I apologize in advance for not searching the threads as I really don't care that much. As such, feel free to disregard this message.
