Interesting.
It actually looks quite good and works well with that colour of car.
Most R owners hate the brushed metal effect mirror caps and a lot either wrap them or swap them out for black or carbon.
I'm always surprised there hasn't been a bit of a swap shop for mirror caps set up on a forum!
The brushed metal caps are very colour dependant on what they work with best. They look their worst on a red or Limestone car IMO but can look quite good on darker metallic cars or white.
Good effort on a ) doing the mod and b ) providing a good write up with decent photos.
