Well finally got my wing mirrors wrapped! Cost me a whole £30!  :laugh:

I am delighted with them:

Nice work Kenny.

Did you wrap them yourself?

No, place down the road from me does it along with window tinting etc. Took it down this morning and he fitted me in. Enquired about the roof, £100, just not sure it would be OTT??

Kenny, IMO wrapping the roof in black on a white car is totally fabulous. You have to, now that you've wrapped your mirrors. Do it!

If I wrap my mirrors, I'll wrap my roof and vice versa.  :smiley:

God don't tempt me!  :rolleyes:

Need to browse the net for pictures to see how it looks.

Asker, I remember seeing a red GTI with the black wing mirrors and it looked fantastic! Go for it, if you don't like it simply peel it off.

I'm considering black mirror caps and a black front lip for mine...or maybe a metallic anthracite lip and mirror covers - to match the wheels.
Not sure though...

Kenny: The mirrors look spot on and the roof will too, black and white compliment perfectly. The whole reason white became popular for cars again five or so years ago were the press shots of the early mk5 Golf GTIs with their white paintwork and black noses complimenting each other.There are lots of pics around the net of white GTIs with black roofs. Go for it.

PS. Whats all that wet stuff on the car and on the ground?!!  :laugh:

Glen: The anthracite trims would look great if they matched the wheels. As Kenny says, if you're not happy with it you can always peel it off (unless you've painted it, then you can just ebay the painted bits as someone would love them).
