Yes, agreed...
And looking at it again, there is also a dark patch in the photo just below the left hand side of the drivers mirror making it look squarer than it actualy is.

Yes, spotted. For me, the giveaway is the curvature of the actual mirror - it kinda follows the style of ours...

I originally saw them on my phone so could really see the crease but it's more obvious on a desktop.

So I retract my comment about the mirrors, it's a nice car including the mirrors!

Ha ha no worries ;) What have you guys done with your chrome window surrounds? Left them or wrapped them? If you have changed them then did you go body colour or black?

Mine body colour is Audi metallic silver so, the matt chrome surrounds I've left as is. I think the black optics on mine just wouldn't suit personally and any other colour isn't that suitable either - I quite like the OEM feel of it.

If I had a Phantom black, Daytona or like yours Mugello blue, I'd consider an alternative - black maybe but it's all down to how you like the look of your car :beerchug:

Neil, black optics and titanium finish wheels and mirrors would look mean on your car. :thumbs:

I actually think the Mugello blue looks really good with the brushed aluminium. I do think it works well with titanium wheels though like this:

However if you where going for the black optic look. The window surround is Matt black and the grill surround gloss black. :thumbs:
