Curious if anyone has done this? Without spending a fortune on a carbon wing and mirrors (I'd want the actual mirror not a stick on cover), just wondering if anyone had finished their wing and mirrors in a contrasting colour? Maybe a matt black or perhaps Speed Yellow (it'd go with my brake calipers and seat belts) smile

911v sold a silver gt2 several months back could even be a year ago that had a black blade and wing mirrors, new owner had them painted back to silver.

Have a google might be some images of it. Another option is to have the parts dipped with a carbon transfer that then is lacquered.

There is a company on the south coast that does it (approx £200 for blade) looks very very good. Or you could just man up and buy my spare carbon blade and do it properly 😀

How did you get on with the plinth?

And what are your impressions of the car?

Best.

Plinth sorted thanks.

It's a proper car. Really enjoying having to drive it. It's totally impossible to drive slowly and the Tubi makes a great noise. Just as well it's not a daily driver - I'd be banned within a week!

Totally agree that the carbon option is favourite. I wouldn't want a wrap or a dip. Don't have that amount of cash to invest just right now though.

Great car.

Take a look at their site, it's pretty impressive what they can do.

No affiliation and all that.

Just not for me. I'd potentially go matt black but wouldn't want a pseudo carbon look.

Send me a PM - I've got a few pics of cars with contrasting bits for reference.

On its way.

Silver with Speed Yellow is appealing.

You're right...not even a little bit!

They do look great though.
