Not so long ago black mirrors were the cheaper spec - now people want to pay extra for them them same as white cars. Funny how fashions change!

I think the gloss black looks great with red.

Yes, I remember that :smiley:. In the early 1980’s when I was a Ford fan, I owned a couple of mk3 Escorts (an xr3 and an xr3i). They had mirror caps painted the same colour as the car’s bodywork, and all the other Escort models had black mirror caps; even the luxury Ghia model.

I agree; I also think that the gloss black mirror caps look good on a red car.

Red paint is also extra these days. I remember about 20 years ago my dad getting a company Mondeo. He wasn't allowed any options, so the colour choice was flat red, flat white or some dodgy purple colour similar to Rubin. He went for the purple purely to avoid the red and the white.  :laugh:

At least the mirror caps were painted!
