Default Any ideas on what to do with side reflectors on a sprint blue car?

I am not sure how to handle them, want to rid myself of the orange, but don't want to order euro bumpers. Anyone do something cool to solve this? I was thinking of putting in body color blanks. Are there clear reflectors that fit this space? Clear would look decent I think.

Default I put tinted clear bra on mine. Softens the bright orange color.

I plan on painting them this spring when I get my rear bumper painted.

Default I think ECS tuning sells clear ones. I bought a replacement set from University Audi

and they paint-matched them for me. Then I just swapped out the orange ones for the painted ones.

Someone on here has a crazy picture of an RS4 that they paint-matched the reflectors on while still on the car. The whole damn car was covered in newspaper, it's pretty funny.

Agreed, especially for sprint blue.
