Mazdaspeed Mirror color. Need opinions.

I had been thinking about getting the Ganador mirrors for the last year and I was about to order the Carbon ones for $550 delivered until I found a set of Genuine Mazdaspeed mirrors on Ebay with 1 hour to spare. Thought I was going to get them for around $200 delivered but at the last moment 2 bidders drove up the price to $350 delivered.

The mirrors are primed and will be for RHD ( I think) so I will be getting the glass replaced and getting them painted. Which brings me to, what color to paint them.

Attached is a picture of my car in track form and a picture of the mazdaspeed mirrors. The only change is that the front splitter is now painted the metalic grey to match the mazdaspeed kit. The rear wing in carbon fiber in case you can not tell. I also have the mazdaspeed wing I plan to put back on for street driving in the off season.

I have 3 thoughts on painting the mirrors.

1- VR to match the body.
2- Metalic grey to match the MS trim.
3- 2 tone like the stock mirrors except I will use metalic grey instead of the black.
4th option- 2 tone but reverse the color scheme. Metalic Grey on the top half of the mirror but the mouting point and bottom in VR.

I should add that those are my rain track wheels and tires. My street wheels are Enkei RPM2's powder coated metalic grey. My dry track wheels are black rpf1's.

Great pics, your car looks great. Your car looks a bit too low in the rear though so if your on coilovers get that sorted. Not sure why you insist on posting pics of yourself here though, maybe it's an iceland thing.

Lowering the front would look good as well. Getting the stance right is key, I am working on that myself.

As far as I am concerned he can just keep on posting pics of his car AND his HOT body, lol. Eye candy for the soul I agree the front needs to be lowered a tad bit but overall she is a sweet ride!
