I get where people are coming from when they say the gloss black mirror covers remind them of base model hatchbacks of yesteryear but in the flesh they work with modern styling and other gloss black add ins.
Hell, until Minis made it popular again black roofs were the doyen of chavved up Saxos going for the MaccyD DTM racecar look, but now even Uber conservative VW offers them as an option on some of the GTI range.
Opinions will no doubt be strongly divided on both.
Gloss black mirrors work on certain cars and with certain colour schemes.
Should we start on the subject of black wheels next?
