Title: black wing mirror covers
Post by: ald1717 on March 22, 2022, 11:34:33 pm

some a** hole took my drivers wing mirror off today, cant find any tornado red covers or complete units,  but plenty of black ones, just wondering if having black ones will spoil the look, what do you think?
i think they might look better as i think a bit more black will help break up all the red along with the black grill,rear bumper, front lip ect

I converted mine to gloss black and they look good in my opinion.

sounds good - they are easy to swap, worst case is you don't like it and you get one of the black covers painted.

Chinese ebay lists "real carbon" ones, but they are hydro dipped plastic, but look pretty good: https://tr.aliexpress.com/item/32948560870.html?gatewayAdapt=glo2tur&spm=a2g0o.search0304.0.0.697a31e2wiE5gN&algo_pvid=ce095ee7-a239-4591-9361-fd140195be77&algo_exp_id=ce095ee7-a239-4591-9361-fd140195be77-3 (https://tr.aliexpress.com/item/32948560870.html?gatewayAdapt=glo2tur&spm=a2g0o.search0304.0.0.697a31e2wiE5gN&algo_pvid=ce095ee7-a239-4591-9361-fd140195be77&algo_exp_id=ce095ee7-a239-4591-9361-fd140195be77-3)

Or even cheaper gloss black:

Looks better imo!

looks much better, but im wondering if thats due to yours having the red sills, and black wheels, but im considering black 18in soon anyway,

Get them from  Lothian off eBay. I fitted one a few weeks ago and colour matched perfect provided your car is still on ly3d paint code. Message them
