Black Wing Mirrors
« on: September 27, 2011, 01:44:09 pm »
What are peoples opnions on these?

I'm looking at having my front grille plastic welded and sprayed gloss black, along with the front VW badge split, with the front badge gloss black and the inside bits tornados red to match the car.

Have a look at Saint Steve's car - he's done the same and it looks pretty good.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

I did them for my brother and they look good! what it highlights is though that all the remaining plastic such as the mirror bases are satin black, i think you need to do them gloss as well to match along with your other satin parts such as your B-pillers and your arial!

Hadn't thought about the mirror bases ! , will look at getting them sprayed aswell, and in terms of arial, mine doesn't have one.

My initial thoughts were satin black grille, satin black badge and wing mirrors, however my lfront splitter is already colour coded with a gloss black lip, and the rear bumper insert gloss black to match.?
