If I was going to do it, I'd also look at doing the wing-mirrors.....

I mean have the lower part of the car done in the grey colour - from the door protective strips downwards - like this:-

but obviously it'd be red and grey :stupid:

As requested :wink:

cheers mate the last 2 pics have made my mind up :happy2: :happy2:

Looking good. If it were mine i would go satin black, or a very dark graphite, it would look awesome on your red car. And I agree, keep the mirrors silver - I can't remember from my S3, are the mirrors actually metal, or £160 odd of plastic like the RS4!!
-
the mirrors are metal on the S3 , the colour i want is titanium like RR oz s (see his wheel review ) next where do i get that colour done in powder coat dont think my usual guy does that colour ???
-
IMHO i prefer them as they are Silver :smiley:
-
As requested :wink:

Candy i think for the wheel change to work u should think about wrapping the mirrors, front lower splitter and all the chrome bits on the front of the car because ur S3 looks.... :drool: as it is now because the silver and red all flow together... if u just change wheel color it won't flow... :happy2:
just wrapping those bits should'nt be too expensive or difficult to do and u can always jus remove if ur not happy with the look
-
i agree , by chance really the RS4 wheels are same colour as the mirrors , which i dont really want to change , the front and rear valences are oem grey , which i like too !!!!!! i might just leave as is and spend money some where else (milltek cat and custom code !!) cheers guys and happy new year :drinking:
-
i prefer the silver on red personally but then RR's does look good lol!
if you go black then i agree wrap the mirrors and front splitter!
but if it were me i would leave well alone your car is the dogs matey!
