I did mine a few weeks back not to hard a job.
The worst bit was the rear rings as they were smaller and had to measure them out.

I've been wondering what to do with the wing mirrors
1- leave them
2- colour code them
3- go black

That was option 4 but would need to be full carbon I think the caps look cheep.
I found these but not cheep they also have some other nice stuff.

Can't find the link now, but MTM do carbon-wrapped OE mirrors which look good.

I prefer my car without the rear rings,it's a stand out colour and I think less is more, just depends on what works best
I think brooner your car will look good with black rings and no front badge

That's a shame!
This is why I like the argon front rings, they are a little fater than the standard ones

Why didn't you just go for Plastidip on the rings?

I've never used it but my nephew applied it to badges on his VW a little while ago and I was impressed with the finish, I actually thought they were replacement badges. He is quite handy and i suspect would make a far better job of it than me but it certainly doesn't look like it's going to peel off. I quite like the idea of being able to take it off if you don't like the look or get bored without much trouble.
