my 2005 A4 came standard with a chrome pack and when i bought it had what at the time i thought to be silver painted mirrors. on closer inspection i have found them to be very cheap replicas of the "S4" and "RS4" aluminium mirrors and are simply painted a flat aluminium colour.

i have been looking into replacing these mirrors with either chrome type, to go with the exterior chrome pack, or a much better aluminium replica, similar to those on the S and RS models. i have found the following two as examples, but would like your feedback! thanks!

I suppose chrome would be bling and aluminium would be a bit more classy?
 
Has anyone painted theirs silver? Would love to see some images as I suspect the results would be good... Halfords paint and lacquer?
