Anyone Vinyl Wrap Their Side-View Mirrors (e.g., Carbon or Black)?

[Frenetic]

And would care to share photos and their experiences?

Any issues due to the asymmetrical/odd shape of the mirrors? Any long-term maintenance issues?

I know there are caps available to purchase in carbon or black, but I'm curious about vinyl as I wanted to wrap just the top half of the mirror, above the signal indicator, or possibly visa-versa. Anyone do this by chance and have photos?

I have carbon mirror caps, but they only cover the top half of the mirror. The bottom half are wrapped in matt black.

Very nice, thanks. That’s exactly what I want to do, just wrap half, but leave the other half as is.

Any maintenance issues with that vinyl part?

[RAF_S7]

No issues at all. The wrap has been on for about 30 months now.
I was advised to go matt rather than glossy, as glossy can show up scratches from washing over time.
The window surrounds are also wrapped in matt black - all chrome underneath.

I’ve gotten mine wraped in black gloss, both mirrors and around the windows. Super happy. Also added som black wrap on the doorhandels.. gotten a bit allergic against crome after having a a8 d3 with way to much crome.

Waiting on a quote for my trim and mirrors, what should I be expecting if any of you don’t mind sharing?

That may be a valid point. Wonder if it translates to the real world. Anyone with gloss black wrap having this concern?

I am planning on doing the mirror caps/front spoiler insert in 3M carbon fiber vinyl wrap, and the grill surround/window trim/lower mirrors in gloss black as I felt like that's what the black optics package is (gloss black). I don't want it to look too "custom," but rather match a package which was available for the car.

If the CF wrap looks terrible or ends up being pretty weak to the elements (rock chips) I'm going to get actual CF parts, but I figured this couldn't hurt to try for the cost. Mirrors and insert won't be more than $200. CF caps are around $900-$1K and insert is hard to come by, only available through CD that I know of, and that runs $750.

I was quoted $175 for trim, $120 for mirrors.

I got carbon mirror covers off eBay. Perfect fit.

This is the route I'd go particularly over a wrap. Any pics?

I just got a black optic A6 and considering doing the mirrors. Local place said $100 to wrap the mirrors. Previously for a non-blocking optic they wanted $250 to wrap the window trim.

Is the install on the CF covers complicated? Thought about going this route as well.

Which company did you buy your CF covers from and did you install them yourself? If you didn't do the install what was your quote to have them installed? Thanks for any advise.
