Like the finish looking to do my mirrors in a titanium finish to Mack the wheels this year but liking the back on yours goes well with your car's colour

Cheers brooner,is your car sepang? Would look good with the mirrors done to match the wheels, I think the covers are a pain to take apart, from what the paint shop said, I paid £100 for mirrors and badges to be fitted,they are a top end paint shop too.

Tbh I've not driven it in the dark since having them sprayed, I did nearly have a heart attack when for a moment I thought he sprayed them black :drink:

Some Domed carbon gel number plates would compliment the rest of the carbon.
