I'll wait for her to run her race then flop to the floor in disappointment

It'll be good practice for later on.

Chav types will steal anything, a pair of them once tried to steal the roof off my car while i was at work some years ago.

As for the mirrors, i quite like them being a little different.

I know feck all about cars. I just go by what looks nice to me. I preferred the silver as it looks neater. To me different colour mirrors on a car makes it look like they broke off and couldn't find one the right colour. As someone said earlier, it's a kind of OCD feeling I guess (im not OCD). that the colours should match.

But as also said else where. ITs your car. Do what ever you like the look of best. Who gives a toss what other think.

Silver for me.

I'm not saying that the carbon ones chav it up, but if it's theft from chavs you're worried about then they'll certainly be more attractive to the burberry brigade.

I just prefer the silver on your car. I think a car should look like this if it's got exposed carbon

For me personally I would prefer the silver mirrors. I had to read into the thread to see what had been changed, IMO of it's not obvious then it's not worth the money.

I veer much doubt the mirrors would get nicked. It's more likely that if the car stands out enough then they'll break into your house, nick the keys, and take the while thing. Seems to be an unfortunate tend these days.

I say as I do. Do what ever the hell you like, enjoy life, and did everyone else.

They weren't an intentional performance enhancement Nutz. They were just to replace the scuffed original silver ones as was cheaper than repainting the silver ones.

Tbh I m still undecided. I've put it back to stand and going to sleep on it :?

In fairness the scuffs are very slight and you cant spot them unless you have anal levels of OCD (blush)

Can you get them machine polished? Slight scuffs could become no scuffs! There are a few scuff and paint repair companies in your area and obviously cheaper than a respray.
