dont do it. chrome wing mirrors look tacky. thats my opinion though.
I think your right, the yellow and chrome prob wont go, but saying that it would match the surround on your front grill and iam sure that you could possibly get chrome door handles to go with it. just a thought.

Here's a pic of my old Black Octy with Chrome mirrors. I think they looked OK on a black car. got them from Awesome.

You could have washed it

I'm not convinced on the bling factor - they look okay but I prefer them body coloured

i do like them and they do look good on red cars

but i need someone with a pic of a yellow octavia to see if they look good or not cause like andyrew said they would match the grill

but i think crome handles might be too much unless someons got a pic of them too to make me change my mind

Hi
There was a guy who had them fitted to a yellow vRS when I worked at the other place
Didnt look too bad actually

pittVRS - Are they covers or replacement housings?

Computer says NO......Overall they may be offset by the chrome on the grille, but don't think they suit it.

I looked at getting a set, but I was put of by the plasticy look. I couldn't find anyone who sold a type which looked as good as the Audi S3 Alloy mirrors.
