I'm trying to find pictures of a white coupe with the carbon fiber mirror covers...debating if the looks are worth the $1k. anybody have them or seen pictures? I've google to no avail :-(

 

And found these the other day.

 

Here

 

Is rather frustrating.

 

Another

 

thanks whirl. still can't make up my mind if they are worth it :-(

 

Couldn't you wrap them in a CF wrap for far less than $1100 if that's the look you're after...?

 

the same as real CF. But, they have come a long way with the wraps. I've considered it.

 

You're right there..they have come a long way.

 

Debating the same my self. But think I will probably just go with the wrap if I decide to do it. $1000 is a LOT of money for just some covers in my mind. Post pics if you get them please!!

 

I'm gonna wrap mine today- if they guy shows up LOL and Ill post pics in this thread.

 

Slick Vic is all over it as I figured he would be...post up some pics when you get them done,I bet they'll be bitchin'...

 

Sorry the guy I normally go to said he couldn't do the mirrors claiming adhesion issues. I have another guy Ill see Monday.

 

Please let us know what you find out Vic. I've got the mirrors on my Evoque wrapped black and they have pealed up twice. That sharp angle over the top is making it a really tough job I guess. Before I wrap the F-Type mirrors I want to make sure I won't have the same issue!!

 

Sorry gents, no go on the wrapping, at least from my two contacts. They don't feel the vinyl will stick and one guy said he would have to splice the applications. Im just going to leave them for now.

 

why not try hydrographic painting - I know a few folks in the XK section who had this process done on engine covers for around $200 (see below thread from member richzak)

Here is a video on the process

 

Yeah I've seen that process up close. It's weird and amazing at the same time. If you have the black pack, it'd also be cool just to paint the mirror covers black....which I'm seriously thinking of doing myself. It would match much better IMO.

 

Both started peeling. Dont do it.

 

That sucks - sorry to hear it.
