Just fitted new black rings to the grille and black wing mirror covers. The covers look OK and will see how they fare after some use. Will they/do they look tacky? Not under close scrutiny...... See how long I can not notice they're stuck on covers! But I really like the black rings. Will leave the rear ones chrome I think.

What do you guys think?

Black rings rock!!! Get the back ones changed too. No silver on your wee blue beastie!

Very nice chap

I agree, either black rings at the back or just remove them altogether.

Where are you guys getting your black rings, i think mine should have them, can't bring myself to delete the alluminium door mirrors, its why I bought my 1st S car way back when. Even my plate has black deail on it, no yellow etc.

I always get them from ebay.

Me too, still looking good. Just make sure you get the A4 ones. My rear rings are smaller than OEM, but actually make the rear of the car look fatter which looks good!

Have all black everything but have kept my RS4 badges and mirrors, to me they make the RS4.

Good feedback guys! Cheers!! Some nice looking cars there!

Looks good,

What are the mirror caps like from the other side, can you see any silver?

You can. They're not very good actually. Don't fit terribly well. I'm looking at maybe getting them wrapped by a friend of a friend. We'll see, as silver isn't too bad but I do like the black look.

Hmm, IMO i'd ditch the black mirrors then if they are tacky!
keep oem they look good in silver or buy the black mirror housings from Audi.
Either way you've got a good looking car

Best way is to get them painted, wrapping will not work well as there is a line running across the top of the mirror,it's not easy to get the tape to stick in that profile

Or carbon dipped ?

As a DIY numpty, can I ask how easy is it to remove the existing ring badges and reattach the new ones?
Thanks. Bob
