« on: 21 May 2012, 10:03 »
Hi everyone sum twit hit my mirror off on car yesterday  :cry: and the car following went straight over it. Does any one know if the black mirrors on the 35 come already gloss black our is it a trip to body shop and small fortune for the cyclist to fork out before I snap his neck

Could be those. Looks like approx £85 each depending on dealer mark up I assume

The black pearl affect has glitter in the paint where as mine is straight black, but wait till u here this! The place in Bristol where the mirror is being sprayed is called dentmajic these guys have 2 edition 35s as there company cars, one white and one black, the black model has no black gloss mirrors they are the same as bodywork witch has flake in paint, I found this out today when my mirror cap was put next theres. And vw Bristol insist they only come primer silver our the black pearl u just said bout.

They seem to be telling the truth. I've got ETKA open in front of me and I can only see primed, reflex silver (metallic) or deep black (pearl). Do you have a part number off the damaged cover?
