Limited edition color for front reflector set?

So I’m going down that “rabbit hole” you guys know and I’m kind of stuck looking for a painted reflector replacement for my front. Problem is my color is a limited edition mandarin yellow. Any clue where I can find this? Is there an option where I can get a white one or something and have bmw paint it? Sucks not being able to find it 😰

Have you checked with IND? Might be worth a call to them. If they won't I'm pretty sure you can buy new OEM reflectors and have a local shop color match them. They'll likely need to be scuffed, primed and then painted but should be doable for any competent body and paint shop.

any body/paint place will be able to get it done for you. i rather have them do it in person over ordering pre painted ones since paint can have discrepancies and it's better for them to match it in person

JBSpeed did a painted spoiler for me in the individual color of champagne quartz and it came out great, not sure if they have painted reflectors.

Spoke with IND and they can do it obviously for a premium. Thanks for the suggestion.

IND says they can do it apparently they can get the color? That should be good enough though right?

I had IND do mine and it came out great. BMW Individual color Ruby Red Metallic. I had to send in my tow hook cover for color matching. Highly recommend.

From what I've seen from IND their painted products are high quality. And their customer service is pretty awesome too !

Cool thanks for that bro. They’re not requesting my tow hook cover or anything maybe they carry my color? Which is strange my color is extremely rare.

Worth calling and asking I suppose. When I got mine done, they said they hadn't done that color in a while.
