Well this is kinda trial and error... lol
Orange, it makes the car look a lot cleaner in my opinion and doesn't make them stand out too much.
your eyes see darker colours first, therefore people will notice the dark bits of the car first- in this case the mirrors, which is not what you want to be emphasising i dont think.

Used to be that the "base" models had non-colour coded mirrors and everyone wanted them body colour coded... now people want to have them black again.... WTF?
Its completely different. There spray black not just black textured plastic covers.
You could do what im doing but on the orange caps so it still shows up as orange but with a twist

Yup. Im pretty sure if you leave the original colour underneath it will show through it as orange but then you will still be able to see the *cough* *cough* aswell.

personally i prefer the black. the orange looks fine but as your going for an arbarth look it takes the red mirror caps idea and puts a nice twist on it.
could i suggest some black arbarth sidestripes to go with as that would look the nuts imo

I was thinking of it matey to be honest, but I dont think I would want the Abarth on the side aswell, so probably just the stripes...
I clicked orange, but prefer Black lol
