Black Mirrors on Silver Golfs. Opinions?
« on: 19 June 2012, 09:24 »
Both my wing mirror cases are cracked on the car. Was wondering if it would make the car stand out a bit more if I changed them for Lupo type but in Black? What do you think mod or not?

with a black grill and a black roof might look alright but alone i think they will look like your ones have cracked and you could only find the replacement in black  :wink:  :lipsrsealed:

I think the lupo mirrors look out of proportion on a 4. Perfect excuse for you to pick up some Anniversary mirrors. I'd leave them silver though, and just a black grill if you haven't done it already  :wink:

I had black grille and mirrors for a short while but so many people said it looked like that I had fitted base spec mirrors I gave up and went back to silver.

Each to their own. I am some where in the middle. My bro sprayed his up satin...I feel they would look better in gloss. They keep growing on me each time I see them  :laugh:
