    Carbon Mirrors

    Found a new supplier for Carbon Mirrors in Germany and I have ordered a set as the price is pretty good. I'll take a look and report back on the quality and fit and finish. They have offered a group buy discount so I'll post when they arrive.
    Best Regards, Ian

    Thanks.

    I will be interested to know what the quality is like when you get them.

    My V10 is now due in November but my dealer in the UK says there will be no CF mirrors available from Audi by my build date.

    Here they are, and I have to say I am VERY impressed! Excellent weave and very glossy. I am having them fitted tomorrow so I'll report on ease of fitting.

    I've attached some photo's posed in the same way as the OEMplus piccies.

    Re: Carbon Mirrors

    I ordered them with my V10 and today found out that they cost me $1400.

    So if you can do better and they are the same quality as the oem ones, go for it.
