Chrome covers for exterior wing mirrors!

Guys, what are your thoughts on "chrome covers for the wing mirrors"

1. you like them?
2. You don't like them.
3.Prices...I have seen prices differ wildly from Ģ24.00 to Ģ75

For those who have purchased these covers what are they like and where do you recommend i get them from?

BTW: they will be going on a black 06 s/c


thanks! Very Happy

I think you would be better off getting them colour coded, chrome is a bit bling for me Cool

Dont like!

Here in Marbella, only the Russians drive RRSīs with chrome bits.

Remember, designing is a profession, not a hobby.

LR would have designed the RRS to come standard with crome, if it would look good!

(IMHO) Thumbs Up SW

Sometimes it is not enough to do our best;
sometimes we must do what is required.

Skywalker - I bought a 57 plate FF vogue last week which came with chromed covers, after I removed them I was shocked to find they were LandRover original parts Shocked

LandRover do design chrome bits, they can't mitigate for poor taste and if they can make a few quid at the same time...

Slick17 - I don't like them and wouldn't have them on my car, but its your car and your personal choice at the end of the day.

I quite like them. I had the half caps on my TDV8. I've just bought an SC and am thinking of putting the full caps on although I may also look at colour coding instead.

If you like them that's all that matters - I think on the right car they can look good - I prefer the half chrome cover than the full chrome in my case as it breaks up the monotony of a totally black car - and let's face it, you don't buy a RRS to try and blend into the corner Cool Wife's Car: BLACK RRS TDV8 HSE with all the bits Smile

I have these and I think they are great. They add a touch of class, in my view. Got them from Famous Four about 3 years ago.

I totally agree. Colour code OK, but not Chrome. In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures
Gone - A couple of RRS, A couple of Disco's. However thinking of another Sport.
