To Chrome or Not To Chrome?

[Gunwande]

Just wanted to get peoples opinions on a trivial matter. What do you think would look better on a red tdi sport, the FR grey coloured wing mirror covers or the chrome wing mirror covers.

I dont want to look too chav or attractive to theiving little Ba%^&£ds.

Any images of either on a red ibiza would be greatfully received.

 

[Mr Max]

chrome mirror covers belong in the bin.

 

[Guinness]

colour coded is the way forward

 

[nick-barnes07]

chrome mirrors only look good on audi's , colour coded for me

 

[Aimez]

yeh and there £50!!! I wish mine were black and not silver think it looks stupid!

 

[Guinness]

next mod then aimez

 

[Aimez]

maybe one day i can think of more exciting mods to do, light tint on rear lights, cupra gaitor, handbrake cover, TT pedals and stut brace are next!

I really liked the smoked mirrors on my FR -

 

[Aimez]

im glad someone likes them maybe someone with a black ibiza will swap with me, are they painted on the other models or just black plastic does anone know?

 

[Yella Beeza]

My FR is yellow and I think the grey mirrors look a bit silly, but aren't they supposed to the same colour as the wheels?

Definitely wouldn't go for chrome mirrors though.

 

[Aimez]

yeh they prob are meant to match the wheels never thought of that, id still rather have them black thou

 

[Rosco906]

i have the chrome one's

Cant be arsed putting a photo up but if someone wants it i'l do it,

getting colour coded one's soon.

aimez there cheap to buy

 

[Aimez]

would it be cheaper to buy them and then have to get them painted or cheaper to get the ones i have on the car painted do you think?

 

[Rosco906]

What colour is your car again?

If silver u can buy the silver one's
or buy the black ones and have them painted

 

[Aimez]

black Fr so has the silver mirror covers, people might wanna buy them off me

The facelift spec's changed a bit, but the pre-facelfit was as follows -

S, reference, SX - Plain black plastic

Sport - Colour coded to bodywork

FR - Silver

Cupra - High gloss black

I think now the Stylance also has bodycoloured mirrors, models below are plain, higher models the same as before

 

[Aimez]

at a meet last night i noticed the gloss black on the cupra might go for them or colourcoded ones, its a mod for the future, im sure someone will buy my FR ones.

 

[Rosco906]

If your selling them cheap i'l take them

I'd imagine it would be close to my silver paintwork anyway

 

[Aimez]

well this won't be yet I'l have to see how much the cupra ones are or if its cheaper the color coded black ones. This i something I might do at some point but not yet.
