Matt finish does not look that good as to close to Silver..

Chrone is too Chevy Truck for me..

So that leaves black, or leave silver..

thoughts? With open Sky i think it would cool.

Anyone have a set for sale?

That would look terrible IMHO. Don't do it.

Real carbon fiber maybe. Especially it you throw a few other carbon accents around the car.

Default I did a few pshops and the black mirrors only look good with blacked out grille trim.
That being said, it's a PITA keeping the black clean / unswirled so I opted not to do it. There also isn't a black trimmed grille currently avail in europe (checked with martyn @ vagparts last week) so you'd have to get it painted yourself &amp; etc.

Default I actually kinda like black mirror caps
my sedan has black caps in matte finish.

The 20th AE GTI's got gloss black mirror caps regardless of body color IIRC.
