Wing mirror colour

Post by A1ex » Sun Feb 17, 2013 8:56 pm

What are people's views on wing mirror colours matching the car?

I'm tempted to get the wing mirror shells (only the bits around the glass not the bits that connect to the door) painted a different colour. I was thinking monte carlo blue if I do go for it.

Opinions please :D

In my opinion...

That colour choice would look horrendous. Light silvery blue with a rich play doh blue :? With a dark neutral colour like grey I think it could work. Depends on the colour of your wheels.

Spend your money on getting your spats and spoilers the right colour first. That's what I would do.
