Just in case anyone is thinking of doing it, I have added black rings to my black car. Makes a massive positive difference in my opinion......

Fit fantastically, the rear one is slightly smaller too which makes the bum look bigger IMO

Looks so much better,one of my first jobs on mine was carbon rings and badges, took the rear rings of mine as I prefer it without.

If mine wasn't so black I would add the black RS4 badge but it would get lost on mine, or could look extra stealth.... May have to look into it...!

I like that. :smile_smoking:

I think it would look good on my black packaged Misano, so I'm going to investigate plastidipping. I know from past experience the ebay purchases can be very hit and miss in quality and size. They can look great for a few months, but eventually get worn/scratched and dull pretty quickly.

Agree - I kept the originals mate (minus a couple of clips...damn plastic!!) which I may well dip too but for now the ebay ones look great!

That was going to be my question too. Black mirrors would really suit it now to finish off the de chrome
