Silver or Black
« on: 28 March 2016, 18:10 »
Guys, I have just ordered my Golf R in Lapiz Blue, my dilemma is do I leave the silver wing mirrors or do I go for the Black mirrors?
What your thoughts?

Cheers

Congrats on order.If it were me I'd stick with silver unless the wheels are black.

I'd go for black. They should make body coloured a free option as well as neither silver or black do the car any favours.

One of each. Take photos from both perspectives each time you snap and then post the image most pleasing. Silver look good in night \low light images. Black looks better if just detailed and going for the nice car not driven look. :cool:

I would say black, the only cars i think that work for me with silver door mirrors are Audi RS models, everything else just seems like a copy.

Get them wrapped, pick any colour you like then.

Maybe a nice VR46 yellow :D

Depends on the wheels really.  If Prets I would say silver, If Cadiz then black.

^^ Your prob right, silver wheels on the black R works very well with the silver mirrors, not sure about the other colours though.
