Bought a genuine set on eBay, £100.... but with today’s 20% off voucher. So £80 all in...
Don’t have my car yet!

Eager... but black mirror caps on the red looks wicked  :cool: Can’t believe your car hasn’t been delivered yet!!

Assume they’re the same for both mk7 and mk7.5?

Will check first, Thanks 👌
Undecided whether to go for it. I think they would look ok on Indium Grey but also aware of the sneerers who will say I am trying to make it look like an R !!
Having owned an R previously and liked the contrast I look at mine now and feel a little underwhelmed!
Another option is to have them hydrographically dipped in a carbon finish. I also am considering getting the lower front grille dipped gloss black to match the gloss black finish on the upper grille of the Mk7.5 as I think VW should have done this as standard instead of the “half a job Bob” option they have taken !!

Need to do a bit of research to, A: Find a reputable Hydrographic place and B: How hard it is to remove the lower Grille  :grin:

I'm having a similar dilemma having broken one of my black mirror caps. I really like the cf look but my OH said they just look faded. I also don't like ill fitting parts and buying non-oem is a bit of a lottery. So I'll probably go gloss black again.

I think gloss black would also look best on the Indium Grey, as above cf may look a bit grey and look like a mismatch. As for the satin silver, I'm not keen on those even on an R. Or get a set sprayed in pearl black, that'd look good :smiley:
