s4 mirrors/covers, back on or leave off

[tony mc]

as title, i took them off to look after them over the winter now i dont know if i should put them back on, lol.
(they are of excellent quality and aint your cheapo nasty looking ones, cost me about £150.)
so boys and girls, would you put them back on or stay with my black one's i cant make my mind up ?


off

on

 

[carlcall]

I like them and I don't know as you've de-chromed now.

You may have to put one on too look at.....

 

[tony mc]

lol, that's one way round it mate one off one on. lmao

 

[carlcall]

In that case on......and if you don't like it you can take them off again

 

[tony mc]

thing is Carl they a bit of a mare to get on and off, the mirror its self is horrible to take out, its almost smashes when you pull it, one of them its going to bust or come off moments

 

[Dani_B19]

Off with you dechroming the car.

 

[carlcall]

Leave them off then.

 

[tony mc]

if they were a bit easier to take on and off i wouldn't be asking really, but if i go to put them on then they'll stay on hence the poll

 

[carlcall]

How long are you running it for?

 

[tony mc]

what the poll ? 7 days

 

[Jimmy TDI]

Now you've dechromed, keep them off and donate them to me.

 

[tony mc]

Now you've dechromed, keep them off and donate them to me.

they may be going up for sale if i can make my mind up, i do like my black mirrors now i'm chromeless

 

[Jimmy TDI]

I think they worked really well with the chrome trim and silver of the rotas, but might stick out a little bit now you've blacked it out.

 

[tony mc]

i still got the rotors there back on now, but i'm thinking the same Jim, they will stick out to much now

 

[W2 NCC]

Leave them off & sell them to me dude

 

[gary911]

I would just put one back on that way you will never have such a dilemma again.

 

[Jimmy TDI]

You've already got silver mirrors, stop being greedy ha ha.

 

[Jeebsy]

I think they look smart

 

[Ianski68]

Off if going for de-chrome look.

 

[W2 NCC]

You've already got silver mirrors, stop being greedy ha ha.

I just lurvve the silver lol

 

[moorzy]

On. They are the nuts.

 

[Jaywoo_A3]

On as they match your roof bars.

 

[martin1984]

keep off now you have de-chromed

 

[St53daw]

Totally off topic but what's the spec in those rotor alloys ?? They look amazing on it nice concave to them

 

[carlcall]

I think they are the same as mine 19" 8.5J ET35 and they fit perfectly on the B7

 

[St53daw]

Just getting some today 8j et43 19" was hoping they would sit like those , maybe not as much concave , but they are going on an S3 so might look ok

 

[tony mc]

I think they are the same as mine 19" 8.5J ET35 and they fit perfectly on the B7

yep thats right Carl mate. took me ages to find them with that concave 90% of them were more like the black edition ones not as deep

 

[tony mc]

couple of better pics of them for ya mate

 

[St53daw]

Just got mine on they're 8.5j et 43 but sit lovely not as concaved as yours but nice on the S3

 

[tony mc]

yeh mate nice motor wheels do sit well on it, thats what i'm after next s3 sport back

 

[St53daw]

Ye I love my sportback , prefer the look on the rear lights , and more practical

 

[tony mc]

yep its the all round winner for me like s3 sport back, dog in, fishing gear in and gone, get there loads quicker too, lmao.
give me a year and i'll ave one

 

[Tyrer]

On vote for me - Rotors and chrome surround with the mirrors look spot one.

 

[tony mc]

looks like i'll be put one on tonight for a look, i'll post a pic when its on.

In theory though you did vote NO yourself pal and therefore the YES should win.....unless deep down inside you know it's wrong to put them back on!
