To be honest the carbon detail gets lost from a distance in pics. I'll take one tomorrow tho', Robin.
I had the same fog covers and mirror housings on my last GTI.
Wasn't sure with them being gloss, but I think I get away with them because if the gloss black wheels.

....I would expect them to look good also because there is a fair amount of gloss black on the GTI exterior.

But did you buy them finished like that, or have it done?

Tastefully modded!!

I bought them like that, Robin.


....From a manufacturer or from a private individual who customised them like that?

I don't want any (I've got OSIR full carbon panels) but I'm curious and also another member might be interested.  :happy2:

They're from eBay. They differ a little compared to the previous ones I that the screw for securing doesn't line up. However the clips are of a good, snug fit.
