Body-colored exterior mirrors
I am looking at purchasing a new S7 and really dislike the silver side mirrors. Is there a way to get the body-colored mirrors WITHOUT getting the black optic package? If not, is this a part that is easy to replace? Thanks in advance!

Adding the silver mirror covers to the A7 is a popular mod. You shouldn't have any trouble selling or trading your covers. There are threads about switching covers. What body color are you looking at?

I will look around for the threads regarding switching the cover. I don't want to be that schmuck that jams a butter knife into my brand new and what I would imagine to be, a very expensive mirror.
Thank you for the input.

You can always wrap the mirrors in a body coloured vinyl.
Replacement mirror caps would come primed from the dealer, and would require painting and finishing.
Putting an aftermarket carbon cap on is another option (I have replaced my S7 aluminium mirrors with carbon ones)

For your mirrors, you'd be better off buying painted ones already or having yours painted. It'd be hard to match your particular body color code to a vinyl color that's already available out there. In addition to that, the way the mirrors are shaped do not typically lend very well to wrapping them.

Thanks for the replies. I ended up sucking it up and getting the black optics package. I am worried about the huge rims on my terrible local roads, but we will see how they do.

Black optic pack eliminated the aluminum finish mirrors? So did they come color matched or black to match around the windows?
