Re: chrome mirror covers

No, just no ok.

If buy and put chrome mirrors on, you won't realise until you've bought them how absolutely awful they look.

Why not look for something a bit more tasteful?

Re: chrome mirror covers

They're ok on classics, old minis and bugs, but not on a new euro hatch.

Don't have a mk2b meself, and the ABSMotorsport website is down, but what about a pair of DTM mirrors? Have look at essex racing, they might have what you want.

Maybe someone with a mk2b can be of more help.....

Re: chrome mirror covers

just get them sprayed black rather than chroming, will look better than the 'plastic black' look
