I may work better with  the mirrors gloss black and the roof gloss black, that way people (who understand these tings) will be able too tell what you've done. Satin mirrors do make it look like a cheaper car.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

I agree,  if Anything on the bodywork is going to be black it should be gloss against the silver.

True that... It's good to get feelers but at the end of the day, do what you want... I know for a fact that whatever you do it won't look sh*t, just might not be to everyone else's taste, I get that amongst other MK1 peeps but it doesn't affect my judgement.

I think smoked chrome may look good on it, dont know against the silver though. I was going to get it done on my  black A3, would of looked quality but quite dear at £80.
