I am thinking of getting my mirror covers chromed,

i think it would look really good with the color of my car,

has anyone done this???

audi does this on their cars and it looks really good with lighter colored cars

 

Never seen them on a 5th gen, but just a suggestion: it might be easier/cheaper for you to buy the chrome mirror covers + turn signals that are being sold in the 5th gen classified forum.

 

the audi ones are actually brushed aluminum and only avaliable on the S4

 

it'll cost me 35 bucks to have both covers chromed, and they will fit snug, unlike the covers over covers

 

wow thanks for a very relevant reply????

 

you are very welcome. my main point was "the reason they look good on an S4 is because they are brushed aluminum" crome wouldnt look good in my opinion

 

your web searching skills never cease to amaze me

 

Here we go......

 

i say again...they would only look good if they were brushed aluminum like the S4

 

......

 

always the scenario with soonerfan:

Other person >>> <<< sooner

no matter what...period....

 

what did i say?? i just said that they are only avaliable on the S4 (already knew that) and that they look good because they are brushed aluminum not chrome. when he made his smart @ss responses i just repeated what i had said.
im an angel

 

look at your first post and see how relevant it is to what i ASKING, i didnt ask for factual information
about Audis

 

His response was relevant... you said you were wondering how it'd look if ya chromed your mirrors because you thought it looked good on Audis, and his point was that Audis have brushed aluminum mirrors and not chromed mirrors, so if ya chromed em, they may not turn out as nice as what ya saw on the Audis.

Sure, you were asking if anyone had done it... but he was simply pointing out an observation for your benefit... no hostility was intended and no need for you to get your panties in a bunch because of that.

 

chrome?

 

yeah buddy!!!! got a chrome grill on the jeep too...you should put one on your jeep man!!!

 

Is that why you have "Cyber Bully" in your sig?


But I agree with Puppetmaster:

 

ive sceen the chrome mirror directionals and i have the painted mirror directionals, i honestly dont like the chrome look. unless you have alota chrome. rims b-pillars and grill , maybe it would look nice, just take a look at the hemi package of the 300-c to see if you like the crome look....

 

Oh great, soonerfan and puppetmaster struck again turning another thread into a bloodbath! Can't you guys just stick to the local forum where I can flame you both for the fun of it?!?

Oh, just to make this relevent: here's a pic of a Merlot without chromed mirrors if anyone is interested:

 

How does that make it relevant?

Hey, here is a sterling mist without chrome mirror covers:





Sorry, jeepik...

 

its all good

 

you could paint them with the duplicolor chrome paint (i think dupont makes it too) and then get a foggy clearcoat (if you can find one) i am actually thinking of doing this too but i dont want my mirrors looking like the chrome plated ones on the avalanche/escalade (or whatever stupid truks have them, i cant remember exactly).


actually they are standard on all "S" audis (S4,S6,S8,RS4,RS6) and an option on the allroad

 

black with normal mirrors

 

by "avaliable" i wasnt saying they were an option. i was saying that you cant get them on "A" audis

 

i've been sitting on this idea for the longest time, wanting to be the first to do it. ive got the chrome covers, putting them on tomorrow. mocked them up- and yes it does look as good as i thought it would.

chroming the covers wont work, they are plastic. motostorm and other companies make a basecoat/clearcoat chrome paint you could use, should not be expensive- maybe $20 in materials + labor.

 

, this is very ture

 

Hello Everyone. We have a various assortment of different paints that can create the chrome look realistically. Our motochrome would be the weapon of choice if you'd like to chrome the mirrors. In my opinion, i'd go with the hyperblack(black chrome) or alumifec. Alumifec creates the exact look of the audi's. It's a satin chrome effect which comes the closest to real metal, plus they can all be clearcoated for durability. We have a special 25% off our special effect paints for org members only running until the end of may. Check out our site and let us know you are from the org!! Thanks
