BMW 3 Series G20 G28 G30 Rear View Mirror Shell Replacement Set for Modified Horn Assemblies

This replacement rear view mirror shell set provides a direct solution for BMW 3 Series owners whose G20, G28, or G30 generation vehicles have undergone specific modifications to incorporate a horn unit within the mirror assembly. Manufactured as precise replacements for the original exterior housing components, these ABS plastic covers restore the vehicle's factory appearance while accommodating the modified internal structure. The set includes both left and right side covers, finished in a consistent bright black colour that matches BMW's original specifications for a seamless visual integration with your vehicle's exterior styling.

Features and Construction

Designed specifically for post-modification fitment, these mirror shells address the need for proper exterior components after internal alterations have been made to the mirror assembly. The product focuses on precise dimensional accuracy and material compatibility to ensure proper installation and lasting fit.

Material and Build

Both the mirror cover and the mirror glass itself are constructed from ABS plastic, a material selected for its balance of durability, weight, and moulding precision. This thermoplastic polymer is commonly used in automotive exterior components due to its resistance to weathering and ability to maintain colour consistency. The bright black finish is applied to match the original BMW factory appearance, providing visual continuity with other black exterior trim elements on the vehicle.

Size and Practical Fit

The outer appearance dimensions of each shell measure 32.5mm in length, 15.5mm in width, and 16.5mm in depth. These measurements correspond to the visible portion of the mirror housing once installed. The shells are engineered as direct replacements for BMW part number 51167422719, ensuring they will properly interface with the existing mirror mounting points and mechanical components on vehicles that have undergone the specified horn modification.

Uses and Placement

This product serves a specific niche within automotive aftermarket parts, targeting owners who have modified their vehicles in a particular way and now require appropriate exterior components to complete the installation.

Event or Professional Use

For vehicles that have been modified for specific purposes such as security upgrades, event vehicles, or professionally modified BMWs, these shells provide the finished exterior appearance necessary after internal modifications. The precise fit ensures that the modified horn assembly remains properly protected from weather elements while maintaining the vehicle's original aesthetic lines. This is particularly important for vehicles where appearance matters alongside functionality.

Everyday Home Use

For daily driven BMW 3 Series vehicles that have undergone the horn modification, these replacement shells offer a way to maintain factory appearance while accommodating the functional upgrade. They replace worn, damaged, or incompatible covers that may have resulted from the modification process, ensuring both mirrors present a consistent, professional appearance. The bright black finish resists fading and maintains its appearance through regular washing and exposure to sunlight.

Benefits and Buying Value

This product addresses a specific need within the BMW modification community, providing a purpose-built solution rather than a generic replacement part.

Reuse and Low Maintenance

The ABS plastic construction requires minimal maintenance beyond occasional cleaning with automotive-grade products. The material's inherent properties resist UV degradation and minor impacts that can occur during normal vehicle operation. Unlike custom-fabricated solutions, these precisely moulded shells maintain their fit and appearance over time without requiring adjustment or refinishing.

Why Choose This Product

This set stands out because it addresses a very specific modification scenario with factory-quality replacement components. Rather than requiring custom fabrication or modification of generic parts, these shells are designed from the outset to fit modified G20, G28, and G30 mirror assemblies. The inclusion of both left and right covers in the package ensures symmetrical appearance, while the bright black finish maintains visual consistency with other black exterior elements on BMW vehicles.
