I recently bought an almost new RS4 in Abu Dhabi. One of the wing mirrors had scratches on it and the dealer has resprayed the mirror in gloss silver.
Does anyone know the paint code for the matt silver used on the B7 RS4 mirrors?

When you order a new mirror cap the colour code is 1L1 - don't know if that helps?

Aren't these proper aluminium like the B5 and other S/RS models?

no they're plastic with a brushed/satin finish as is the front grill.

maybe but at least they don't go "milky" like the real aluminium window trim

I have a scuff on one of my mirrors and want to paint it also
Does the code 1L1 work / is it valid?
thanks

i can't trace 1L1 on ETKA as a paint code in the usual manner

IIRC they are not that expensive to buy from Audi and come pre-painted in the standard matt silver.
