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...


Most stylish. Like my rear diffuser.  :smiley:

Think I will just book my car in to get it done! Can't complain at £100!

Yeah, it's like monsoon weather up here and you lot are getting 30 degrees  :angry:

How much was it to wrap the mirrors mate?

What the the bulbs in the front, they look loads better than my yellow ones.

Not a fan of black roofs as i think they belong on corsa's and novas.
I was with the vauxhall performance lot the other night.  :embarassed:








I do like the idea of rapping the lower lip spoiler so its similar to the ed35 look and how SteveP looked.

Looks good.

Roof done could look really good too and as you say if you don't like it, remove it.

As my car is black already I thought about carbon fibre covers for the mirrors but they're £70. Likewise the lip spoiler could look good in CF too

I should have my first lot of Carbon covers coming in this week and can do you guys some nice pics of them to see how they look. To be getting on with, here's a mk5 set.
