original alloy mirrors, should i ???

[AVLO]

The issue is that I currently have the cheap tacky ebay chrome covers on my s3 which were on the car when i bought it and honestly they are awful. Now the question is i have chance of some genuine s3 alloy mirrors in decent nick for a mere £80 so should i get these or should i take the caps off and get the mirrors sprayed in either same white or something like black?

Whats your thoughts

£80 for 2 genuine OEM alloy mirrors.... 100% get them!

I wouldn't want to say how much I paid for mine 3+ years ago

As above, these mirrors are worth a fortune. I was lucky to get them already on my A3 from the previous owner.

My originals came on my car from factory I believe, I wouldn't fancy replacing 1. at that price u'd be silly to let them go!

sorry if i sound cheeky but if u dont buy these please let me know where you found them wouldnt mind a pair for my s3

Thanks for the reply's guys i like the mirrors myself but wondered weather it would suit the car more with different colour mirrors, I.e. Black?? If i decide.not to go for them i will let ya no M12RJX.

The original aluminium mirrors in my opinion are the only ones that look good on an S3.
I bought my car with colour coded mirrors, and the first thing I did was track down some OEM alloy mirrors and swap over.
Makes a hell of a difference.

buy the mirrors & sell your originals for what £40 ? if you dont like them spray them up !

Genuine mirrors for £80 - smells a bit fishy if you ask me. These things are probably the most nicked items on an 8L...

I'd remove your ones covers and paint them colour coded or gloss black. I only say that because I'm not really a fan of chrome/polished metal on white cars, it just kind of clashes in my eyes. But then I'm not you, so just do whatever you'd like the best!

I run chrome inpro ones. No one nicks these, I have genuine metal ones in a cupboard somewhere in my kitchen.

When mine were nicked, the cheapest I could get them for was £250. And that was because the eBay guy took pity on me when I said mine had been ripped off just before an MOT.
