I would rather this I hate the unpainted plastic bit on the prefacelift mirror.

If you don't have anything constructive to say, then why post?

I like those covers I think there are LHD and RHD specific though; they mentioned this on LGT at some stage.

The Ganador mirrors look nice but a) there are too many (cheap) copies of them, and b) they are more than triple what these covers will cost.

Good point on the LHD/RHD specific Jim, I'll try to find out more.

Any interest in a group buy?

Fine...I think they are rice looking.
I could maybe agree with a black on a white car, but when you put carbon on I think it's crap.

Those are my "thoughts" like this thread asked for, they are also not constructive.

That's fine, appreciate your thoughts.

What if they had STi stamped on them?
Now I'm just stirrin...

personally i think it would go well with the theme you already have going...silver with black highlights...

would complement the black lip, grille and rims quite well but the proof is in the pudding...

If you have a carbon fibre theme/trim throughout, it may be ok (not a personal fan of external carbon themes). But if you don't, I think it would look out of place if you have a silver & black theme going and suddenly there's this carbon piece sticking out like a sore thumb. I dunno. There's something to be said about consistency.

I think it would look great on, say, Arith's car. However, I reckon it would draw too much attention away from the aggressive look on the front end of your car Tangcla.

Have you still got the carbon edging around the bonnet scoop? I think it'd match that. Otherwise I'd agree that just having carbon on the mirrors and nothing else almost looks like Mickey Mouse ears

How about these?

Yep, I do, but the clearcoat is cracking and hazing at the edges, and I think it needs to be replaced soon.

agreed...the complexion of the carbon fibre may vary to that already on the car too...food for thought...

No it wouldn't.

LOL!

I think they look nice and they will match your bonnet scoop.

Not half as nice as a set of ganador mirrors though! I had a set on my old 180
The genuine mirrors look so good I reckon, the fakes are very easy to spot.

Do it!
