do i need to do the mirrors in the same colour ? or does the silver look ok ?

I'd be colour coding them to the grille surround personally.

I agree. As nice as it looks, I think they need to be darker to match the grill etc. My mate has even had his front and rear valance sprayed to match his grill and on his..




Do love red and black I have to say.

You can buy them black from Audi/ebay now though can't you, as in the 'Black' pack that Audi do on the A3 range?

well my opinion?

i like em  :grin:

black rims on red cars dont really do it for me as they can disappear in the grand scheme of things, having them tinted away from silver will always be a win for me  :happy2: (so much so i did it to mine  :laugh:)

i think the colour is bang on dude  :happy2: as for the rims being common... thats only as they are a natural suit for the car, thats not a bad thing  :innocent:

wing mirrors though... a fat no from me, i think black would work there to match your grill  :smiley:

your swatch is on its way  :happy2:

spraying them will be the better route though i think, exact match that way?
