I've got an early black S3, I'd like brushed alloy wing mirrors, but I know originals cost the earth, so some covers would do, but I don't want one the shiny ones on ebay, brushed ones look better IMO, can anyone help? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh_roll.gif
Where can I get brushed metal wing mirrors?

The only replicas out there are the bling shiny ones.
If you want the brushed ones, then you need to get a set of genuine ones off ebay or something.

So originals I'd need an early set off of a S4?
Is this the only car which had them which would fit an early S3?
Not sure black car and bling mirrors would look good or not?
Btw-I'll give you a bell at lunch tomorrow

No...you need RS6 mirror covers...
As long as your car is a post facelift S3, they fit straight on.
I don't think they fit pre-facelift though...may be wrong though.

You could just buy facelift bases and plates.

So the easy way is to buy a set of facelift wing mirrors and a set of brushed alu covers, seems a bit expensive /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif
Satin/brushed no odds to me, just not keen on the shiny bling mirrors

Just me being picky, but aren't they a satin finish not brushed (i.e 3B finish).
Mine are.

Yes, they are satin...not brushed.
Almost like a glass-bead blasted finish.
Not brushed at all...
Dont's know why we all refer to them as brushed really...
I've seen some that have been 'brushed' from the polished ones...Oh dear....not good. Best avoided, I think.
