Post by: Starry on 25 February 2004, 16:12

does any one know if the mirrors off the s3 will fit the mk4, i know the bit that mounts on the door is diffrent but the mirror looks like its the same. if not can you buy chrome backs anywere.

Why bother, Audis get away with it cos people know that shiny mirrors mean something very rapid(RS6 and S4 etc) I reckon if you put them on yours it may just look a bit tacky.  Your car looks nice in the pic, don't ruin it ;D

Save the money and get some anniversary side skirts.

r32 skirts and front bumper on way. i think the chrome mirrors on the black car would look ok. as for audis going fast mine does 0 to 60 in 6.8 which is not bad and i know this is pretty accerate because i used this niffty gadget of my mates that measures exceleration and also g's on breaking. but at the end of the day if they look naff ill stick um on the e/bay. ::)

Don't put um on e-bay,

Being an e-bay hoarder i will probably end up buying them, Christ who ever invented PAypal made it too easy for me to buy sh!t off e-bay,

Just replaced my Nokia 6600 bought last week off e-bay for a 5100 cos why do i need a video camera on me phone, see told you it was too easy to buy crap.

Real ones cost over a grand new, but you can get brand new replicas on ebay (for about ?750 with Tyres) or from awesomegti.co.uk for a wee bit more...Thinking of getting some myself.
