spook Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 Does anyone know whether it is possible to spec a new S3 with body-coloured door mirror housings instead of "chav silver"? I believe that this is an option in other countries, but haven't seen any mention of it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] I have heard people say they've specced normal mirrors, but tbh I like the silver as it makes the car stick out a bit more...however, I'd have a word with your dealer, sure they'll be able to do something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnS3 Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 That's part of the reason I chose a silver car so the mirrors didn't stand out too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 its not a std option like it is for example on the RS4 but you could spec it through the exclusive programme but probably quite expensive. Why you would want to make your S3 look even more like a diesel A3 S line is anyone's guess! If you must do it I would do it aftermarket so you can resale with the proper S mirrors as not having them would put most people off (IMHO) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetrolDave Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 It's always been a distinguishing feature that S models have bright "silver" mirrors and RS models have matt "silver" mirrors. But that is no longer the only choice ... You can choose to have an RS4 with body colour mirrors (by specifying the optics pack) - does the same apply to the S3?

JohnS3 Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 I dont think so, the optics pack on the S3 only gives you a black grill surround. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briggs Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 I saw a new S3 in Notts the other day for the first time - it was silver and with it's same colour mirrors you could only tell it was a S3 from the front grill. Mind you it was in a less than savery area of nottingham at the time so the owner was probably quite glad of the camouflage!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] not correct - my RS4 is specced with optics (one of my must-haves), it consists of black finish to window surrounds, the front grille and the rear boot lid strip for £300. For a further £85, body colour mirrors is a separate option (which I have most definitely not selected) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like they say you know what "ass u me" does !!! Glad you stayed with the matt aluminium mirrors - for me they are a "signature" item of an RS model.
