I wouldn't have done it. Not a fan of cars pretending to be something they aren't. I'd have gone gloss black - ala the Clubsport - if really wanting to keep it OEM+ looking.

I'm in the same boat if I was going to change.

Well I like it. Nice contrast against the dark grey paint, which wouldn't be as obvious with black caps.

Black caps for lighter/brighter colours, chrome caps for any colour apart from silver. IMHO.

It was one feature I wasn't keen on when ordering the R so went for gloss black which I think looks much nicer



Sorry, not for me. I may wrap them down the line but am OK with contrast for now. I actually fancy I may even spray them lapis.  Car fads go full circle,like fashion.

I still have my hydro dipped carbon fiber look mirror covers in the boot of mine. They have been there for a few months now keeping my wheel spacers company. I must get around to fitting them some day :rolleyes:
