Title: Black Wing Mirrors?
Post by: KennyGTI on 21 April 2011, 07:21
After seeing my first White Golf R while on holiday, I have really fallen for the black wing mirrors. Drove by a GTI (red one) in Glasgow one day with them ang again thought they looked good but it was on quick look I got. What do people think? Also does anyone know how to remove the wing mirror casing?

...as for getting it off... you could always slide into a barrier like I did, but its not advised.  :smiley:

I created a DIY HERE (http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=172143.0) on how to dismantle the mirror assembly  :smiley:

Morning Kenny

Yep I like the look of gloss black wing mirrors especially on a white car. I'm tempted to get them painted on my car as I've got the black detroit wheels fitted and so the black wing mirrors would finish the car of nicely.

White cars were a no-no as they always looked cheapo-chav transports especially with black door mirror housings. True. It's now gone full circle .......... but not for long. Thank Heaven.  :smug:  :evil:

Ahem. Those of us with black cars have black mirrors. It's flattering to see that everyone wants black mirrors because they bought the wrong colour....  :grin: Resprays are pricey after all...  :tongue:

With the R, I could not stand the fuel consuption for the gain in performance ratio looking at mpg figures posted on the other forum, i would probably never use the extra power anyway and would get frustrated daily at the low rev pull the same as i do with a mates S3. If i change it would be to a 5cylinder Audi unit rather than the EA113.

Yes hopefully, got to make an honest woman of her first though! Don't know if the R could take all the baby stuff that would inevitably follow? :huh:

Well said Amanda. Death is more interesting than some of the stuff that is thrown up.
Taking the three little ones for designer haircuts now. They look a right bloody mess. Cut all their nails, dressed them and now I'll shear the little darlings.
Hope you are well.
