Hi Guys,
Has anyone tried fitting the Punto mirror covers to the 500? They are the same mirrors right?
I like to look of these 'carbon' ones but wondering how they look in the flesh. I am guessing that its 'mock' carbon.
Has anyone got fitted these please? Opinions?
Cheers.

Set on RUI's 500 (Click here) - unsure if he still has them on.
On White I wouldn't be a fan of them.
Do you have a Satin or a chrome finish on your TA ?
If you were looking for a change Satin mirror covers can look well providing the rest of the car has a Satin finish.
Can see you looking at CF dashboards next.
 
those are not real carbon, my ones are..they are sitting im my garage and have not been on my car for a year.
 
Thanks!
Are RUI mirror covers the actual Fiat ones?
My door handles and front / rear trim is neither chrome nor satin.
I know what you mean about white car but I do have black wheels and a touch of carbon inside - Scorpione gear knob. The TA model (before the Street version) has a matt titanium colour handles etc. unlike on any other model, so the satin covers won't match anything.
Carbon dash cover! Yes please : P

Yes, thought so.
Are they the ones that stick over the original covers or replace them?

On forgot to say... My covers are just the basic black plastic ones.
 
edited for accuracy ?

Remember TMC had CF dashs - hopefully they have some left in RHD.
You are trying to get me in trouble with my wife lol.
I just bought a BNW dash cover to replace the metallic 'TA' one. £25!!

Thanks RUI.
We're you happy with yours? Why did you take them off?

I have the standard brushed silver, painted black, white, red and carbon fiber and i just swap them around when I get bored.
I have red ones on it now.

Do you have an uprated suspension kit?
