So i'v been looking on Ebay for a set of chrome S3 style mirror caps. I came across a few sellers selling caps that you glue on to your existing caps but I thought they looked a bit to cheap and didn't look OEM enough for me. I also didn't like the idea of the caps not sitting flush with the rest of the mirror housing. So I decided to take matters into my own hands and make a set myself.
Ordered new mirror housings of Ebay for £30 for the pair.
Once I took them out the box I realised the seller sent two passenger side housings, so currently waiting for him to send the drivers side.
So I thought I may aswell crack on with one of the housings. Took my time on choosing the spray paint to use on the housing as I knew most chrome spray paints actually turn out to be a more silvery colour than chrome. After reading good reviews I grabbed a few cans of Rust-Oleum chrome spray paint from B&Q.
Hung the housing on a metal hanger to get good coverage.
Very happy with the finished product.
So tell me what you think guys.
