Golf R mirror covers

[Exonian]

A cheaper option may be to get them wrapped in vinyl? Easy to switch back too.

Plus easier to re-cover if you get a scrape or chip (and protects original finish) and you can cover that nasty bit of bling on the front bumper whilst you've got the vinyl in your hand.

Intersting to see VW have finally started to sell the R Line Golf in the UK too which looks almost identical to an R

Just wondering what thoughts if any you guys have on fitting the brushed aluminium mirror covers from the R to a black GTI ?

I think they look good, but then I would say that as I bought them for my red Gti, I tried the vinyl wrap route first but due to mirror housing shape it never looked perfect. I'm happy with my purchase on desire!

I picked up a set of unused metallic black genuine VW covers from Ebay Germany at a very low price.

Will be going on my red GTD soon after delivery

"Spiegelkappen vw golf 7 or Spiegelkappen vw golf vii" are the best search terms to use in my experience

Is it only me that sees the irony of fitting black mirror backs to a car with OEM colour matched ones? Years ago we used to pay extra for a feature such as "colour matched wing mirrors" and now you are putting black ones on LOL

Very true but just fancy a change and black ties in with other trim on the GTD

Have you thought about getting black bumpers too? For that genuine 1990 L model look ;-)

Funny how things change, however, they week that nasty plastic that faded back in the day.

Silver will be back in vogue soon

Is it an R or R Line bugs me with the Mk7. You could immediately recognise the Mk6 R as the daddy of the golf's on the road with its more aggressive and distinctive styling.

( and yes BMW are the pretty much the same with the m sports and the M135i before anyone points this out  )

And Audis - Is it an S Line or is it an S?
