Nurburgring mirrors on my car?

[GreyRex]

Very random thought...

What do people think of the carbon fibre look mirrors from the Nurburgring on a black AH Turbo?

Please don't bring up the 'it's not an HSV, you can't/shouldn't' stuff. I just want to know if people think it would look good on mine:rolleyes:

I'm not sure if it'd look crap, or if it'd be a cool subtle difference

Cool subtle difference!
If you want look up the Stealth 888's...they had carbon fibre mirrors, carbon fibre grille and carbon fibre rear chrome strip. But will show you what they look like on a black car.
I say go for it!

Actually just check out Azza's car...black with nurburg mirrors...

Hmm i'm not sure now:p

[glider]

may just be the photos but those to me look like faded plastic mirrors, imo painted would be better :(

If you do decide to I can vouch for Darren's (d2tuck's) work - he always has a set of the mirrors up on ebay (http://shop.ebay.co.uk/?_from=R40&_trksid=m38.l1313&_nkw=carbon+astra&_sacat=See-All-Categories). Unlike the actual 'ring mirrors they're not just stickers either.

Not a fan of carbon fibre anything. Nice if painted over but not that cheap checkered look.

Carbon Looks good as a contrast, not so good against a glossy black.

Do people actually make a big deal about VXR parts on not HSV badged Astra’s??

[Wraith]

IMO carbon fibre finish bits on black cars is ok...they'll blend in well and look good.

They tend to look a bit out of place/odd or not a good match up in my eyes with some lighter colours, eg: white or yellow cars.

I wouldn't be worried about genuine HSV or not, as I'm sure you can get carbon bits for an AH or any car type aftermarket anyway !

My main objection to carbon fibre parts is their cost, ie: if they're genuine carbon fibre, they can cost a small fortune which far outweighs any benifit they may give you and if they end up looking out of place also, it's a total waste of money all together IMO.

OMG! I want the side repeater lights that he has on his car! Anyone know where I can get them?

[GreyRex]

I'm just toying with ideas...

Or there's the matte silver look against black (obviously this one's red, but you get the idea)

Lol they're off the Corsa VXR

I think Holden offer the matt silver finish look. I also saw it on the Opel Bodykit list..looked good on a metallic blue astra :)
Not so sure about red...try photoshop it.

[Red AH SRI T]

i wonder how easily they would fit?

[sooty]

Corsa VXR indicator surrounds are a direct fit.

and where would I buy these?

[sooty]

All the guys in the UK buy them direct from the dealership.
So you may be able to get one to do that, and pay them for it.
Either that or try LMF? AutoVaux?

[poita]

autovaux :)

My 2c, don't get the chrome or silver mirror covers.
Either stick with the black, or get the carbon fibre. Either way the car is gonna look sex (as it already does)

[Red AH SRI T]

I love the chrome mirrors on cars like Audi's and Jaguars but on others they just look shite

But would carbon fibre look better against a black car, or do I leave them as they are? :confused: :D

[Red AH SRI T]

Well on the pics posted on the link on the first page i thought the looked a bit average. They looked kinda like they were faded.

[UnKnOwN]

personally i think any carbon fibre looking accessories, be it real or just stick on just looks a bit try hard ish... =\ ut dats just my 2c
