    S4 Mirror Caps

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    So I bought a set of no name mirror caps before the winter and put them on my car. I barely drove the car all winter and I've been inspecting their condition. It looks as if the cap surface was bubbling up. I took them off my car and thought I should just sand them down and see if I can repaint them. As I'm sanding them down I discover that these caps are not painted but rather covered with a metallic film. Underneather they are just white plastic. Has anyone else had this problem during the winter? If not what manufacturer are yours?

    Maybe you're right but I think that one is 3 times the price.

    The problem is that there's tons of chrome mirrors but no matt mirrors.

    U have a nice and quality car, WHY dont you pay 100$ more and get the OEM part instead of some replicas..?

    Uts my word, its how I do when its possible.. approx. 100$ is such a smal amount for the difference of OEM - replica..
