Colour Coded Mirrors???
Hi all,
Most of you know what car I have and what my plans are for it. Well I was wondering wether I should paint my mirrors or not? Base plate in Ford Panther Black and mirror case in Radiant Red. The roof is going Panther black sooo... But I'm unsure on it because I'm keeping the standard plastic bumpers. Will colour coding mirrors/door handles look good?
Opinons?
Their Mk3.5 mirros by the way.

I would do them all black on a red car, might be a bit too 'look at me' type thing. I have colour coded mirrors, but mine is dark so it doesnt stand out in your face kinda thing. Upto you though really!

Maybe, if your keeping the standard bumpers and having a panther black roof, how about panther black bumpers too?
Just an idea!?
Then have base plates, lock and door handles PB with the mirror covers r. red?
Don't know how it would look though....

I think I'm gunna buy new mirrors and spray them. Can't get the old ones off without snapping them. Someone has superglued the old base plate to the door, or some strong substance, so will have to get the heat gun to it.
But yeah I will be spraying them now.
As for door handles. I can't get them off because there's some sort of black box in the way behind the screw. I dunno what it is, but it's kinda glued to the door, black silicone. I'll get a picture of it. Extremely annoyed.

It's to stop someone putting a ruler down your window to open the car, very useful!!
Slice it off and then re-stick back on.
