Post

Back to the top
Morning all

I'm still deciding on which way to go with the Golf, but i am swaying towards the chrome look a little. I was searching on eBay and stumbled upon these mirrors. Whats everyones opinion on the look, and the price - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271136857266?ru=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_from%3DR40%26_sacat%3D0%26_nkw%3D271136857266%26_rdc%3D1

Thanks

If you fancy chrome but something a little different to the flag mirrors then you could always go for a set of clamp on "peep" mirrors. Im gonna use some of these on my truck eventually!

Just an option.

Think they look awesome on some MK1s but not on others. Depends on colour of car and wheels.

I ordered the ones from venom but they were poor quality !! The black surround didn't sit in place properly and they were the last set that they had so got refunded after about 4 weeks !!

Thanks for the replies all, i think i will leave it, don't want to spend that amount and them to potentially be rubbish!

Will just spend some money on some small bumpers instead! :)
