Red Mirrors

[normanh]

Was considering getting the wing mirrors wrapped in red on my Black c class coupe

Would appreciate constructive views or even if someone could photoshop a pic

It's your car, but I think they will ruin it.

Might look OK if several other bits were done red so it has some sort of theme running through the car.

Me personally, I think red bits are naff.

Erm, no. IMO.

Silver? Too Audi?

I think they will set off the car a treat, but you may find they obscure the view of the caravan you are towing.

I saw a c class saloon once in 50/50 red and black. Bottom half red, top half black. It was dramatic, so much so I slowed down and gave way to it - another benefit.

Please don't! If you like red mirrors buy a Juke Nismo

 

[tonyc280]

Don't do it!

If you're really set on it then get a can of plastidip, mask off the surrounding area and give it a few coats.

Plastidip can be pealed off without affecting the existing paintwork at all. It is ideal for testing out things like this before making them more permanent.

And some pictures which may serve as a deterrent.

Perhaps you could buy a pair of (unpainted) wing mirror covers, paint them to your heart's content, and keep the original in a safe place? They are easy to remove and re-fit, and your car with its original mirrors will be more attractive to potential buyers come sell time.
