I was not keen ont he chrome ones myself either.  So I swapped the chrome mirror caps on my Golf R for the optional Carbon mirror caps when I ordered it. The carbon mirror caps are awesome, especially when the catch the sunlight.   :smiley:

I think they are something like 400 quid if you order them from the configurator with the car... Do look lovely though.

I had mine cf wrapped for £60 and was very pleased with them. Having seen a genuine set of VW ones on an R though, the real ones were much better but not worth around £550 to retrofit. I think I'll fit a set of gloss black ones soon, a dealer on ebay will supply a pair of oem ones painted in the colour of my choice for £72 + p&p which seems reasonable and I'd also still have my red ones should I want to go back to standard.

As for the point of this thread, I like what the OP has done, they look really good in combination with the colour of the car. :smiley:

My carbon mirror caps were part of a deal I had haggled on my Golf R.  So I guess mine were cheaper.

Been meaning to get mine done in Red to match the badges, not sure it will look right though.
Anyone done something similar? :undecided:

I would look like one of those beats up! imo  :smiley:
What colour is your (GTI PP I presume?) gloss black is always a good OEM look.

I have a White GTI with Performance Pack (red badges), not keen on Gloss black to be honest, I was going to get them wrapped in matt silver/matt chrome.

So Golf R caps then. Good idea to hawk around R owners that dislike them. Me I'm happy with mine. They identify the car against 'run of the mill golfs' :grin: :grin: :grin: :laugh: :wink:
