i am also wondering if anybody has put the carbon fron on their car? if so if you have any pictures and if it is difficult to fit.

cheers guys

Do a search on the web for OSIR. They are the peeps for C/F stuff. Load of gluts on here have there stuff on here just use the search button.

MV developments will make any carbon part but they need to be supplied with the part you want first for the pattern i.e. if you want mirror housings they need some OE housings to make the moulds

i read that thread and i was really excited until the last post which says that apparently they're just covers for the original mirrors? that's a very expensive way of vinyl wrapping your original mirrors and lacquering them!

Thanks guys, I have looked up osir design and emailed the uk dealers which told me they are discontinued. I then thought I'll try my luck and email the us osir and ask if they had any left. They apologised but they didn't have any left over. Is there any products which are similar to the osir engine cover? I ain't a fan of the full carbon covers. The osir wing mirrors are direct replacements to the vw item but they are 340 ish I think. Which is too much haha

The wing mirrors are very nice. Engine cover is to die for... or just spend some money! Either way

Look like really good parts would be interested in mirror caps.

I have some carbon covers and painted my mirrors black but tbh even with all the tape carefully placed I am still not happy with them so I think I am going to save for the osir replacement covers. They are really nice :)
