These turned up this morning , and I think they look better than the gel plates. The plates were £45 & the surrounds were £20 . Money well spent

Nice  :cool: That car looks great!

Are the mirror caps tricky to fit? Does the lane assist indicators make them a bit more awkward? Mirror glass out first?
MK8 GTI Clubsport. Reflex silver, Estorils, and a few other bits.

Nope the lane assist just unclips and clips straight into the new one, didn’t take the mirror glass out...if you tilt the mirror you can see the 2 clips to undo for removal,a tool to undo them came with the mirror caps.

I do like the look of those and, even more, I like the fact that they sound relatively easy to fit.

The ebay link photos show a slight carbon effect but in your pics they look pure black.  Are there a carbon lines in them?

I think I'd prefer pure black tbh.

Thanks

Mine are pure black.

They do both black and carbon effect.

I bought black mirror caps for mine on Ali Express and they are good quality and look well I think!
