Looks good Greytop, it was a toss up between zenith and red, went for red but that looks good. Think the chrome looks better on Zenith grey, makes them stand out more.

Thanks guys, yes I wasn't sure whether the chrome covers would suit but now they have been on for a couple of months I think they work well with zenith grey.

nice looking car Greytop - i'v gone for zenith on my fr, 3 weeks and counting till delivery!

does anyone know if the addition of chrome wing mirrors should affect insurance? my current insurer was a bit funny when i mentioned it to them?

Great pics. :)

They're not real chrome though. I'd probably not have mentioned it. But if you do just say you've got some plastic mirror covers (which is the truth) :)

Does anyone know how much they should cost (including fitting)? I'm not sure if dealer is pulling a fast one.

They cost £40 to buy,

Its a case of flicking off the old ones and clicking in the new ones.

Thanks for the comments :)
Re. Insurance as far as I'm concerned they are plastic replacement door mirror covers from the original manufacturer ;) Not worth mentioning IMO

I wouldnt bother mentioning them, they're hardly performance enhancing, one thing that worries me, plastic thats chromed, after a few years, it wears thin and shows the plastic underneath, i remember toys when i was a kid doing this, flipside, £40 the pair not expensive!!!

As I am back to the dealers tomorrow (paying my deposit because the credit card machine was out)... I have a pair to pick up tomorrow. They will stick them on for me while I am there.

Btw.. picked up my zenith grey today. OMG... I LOVE this car!
