Fitted Carbon fibre mirrors to my Spyder

[Monkey boy UK]

Just fitted these CF mirror covers, they are OEM brand new and cost just over £450 on e-bay, less than half the price if i bought them from Audi, kept the blue ones in case the future owner wants to change them back to blue, really pleased with the look.

Very nice mate, great the way the sun catches the edge of the fibres... Did you fit them yourself?

Great looking mirrors. Your car is turning to a bruiser (Black 'n Blue), slowly but surely. It is safe to say...U have one of the baddest ass R8s on this forum... Tubi exhaust w/valves ??

Hey Harrison, are you Dexter's love child? :-) ;-) or is someone on the show an R8 member and you've inspired them :-S

Ian, no, i had Lake district Audi fit them for me, 1.5 hours ( about £100 labour ) Harrison, no other mods as i dont think i will have it for too much longer, got told by Audi my bid for a GT was confirmed, 6 other applicants at my dealership ( Inc Frank who came on the Alps trip ) have not been successful and they said i will get a request in the next few weeks to go and spec it, i noticed the catalogue and price list is now downloadable on the German web site, but it’s in German! there are only 4 standard colours, Suzuka grey, Phantom black, Ice silver & Samoa orange, then of course you can pay extra and have the exclusive selection, there is also a matt white special colour too, interestingly it costs 193,000 Euros in Germany that equates to about £160,000, yet the price in the UK is £143,000, £17k cheaper in the UK than Germany! Odd.

Here is the catalogue link; http://www.audi.de/etc/medialib/ngw/...df/r8gt_00.pdf

Carbons Mirrors look great.

Congratulations also on the opportunity with the GT.

Strange how countries are different as my Audi Dealer has 1 GT on order which will be for sale.

No lines up just first in best dressed.

Fair to say I am going through some torment at the moment.

Gary search on ebay. I think the mirrors are made in hungary which is where I got mine from. I paid £460 for mine shipped from hungary, there are a few OEM mirrors for sale from hungary on there right now.

Hi Gary,

His name is Peter and his e bay shop is at http://www.facebook.com/l/c933fjKVNc...&_trksid=p3686

I found him to be an excellent seller, items arrived in a couple of days and perfect, they are OEM and a great deal cheaper than buying through Audi, he sells many OEM parts.

Good luck

Cheers
