Default B6/B7 Mirror Caps

I hope the one (OEM S4 mirror caps) I bought won't be a crap : (
What colour of mirror caps are you looking for? Mine is light silver with chrome caps on it. Let me know if you are interested it.

I don't understand what you mean. Are they just factory B6 or B7 caps that are painted silver like your car? Do you have a pic?

It is factory painted light silver with self-installed chromed cover. Here's the picture,

That would be the same problem I have now. They're not painted buy a metallic thin layer of foil is layed over them.

No sure that problem you are experiencing. I have no problem with the chromed cover and it looks great. I just want to go for another route with S4 caps. I can take a closer shots if you would like to take a look.

Well the ones I had had a metallic film laid over them so at first they looked like S4 mirror caps. The winter took a toll on them. Now they look like matt aluminum foil that's bubbled up and there's spot rust all over them. The finish is completely ruined. What I want to do is take an OEM set of caps and paint them the same colour as the S4 mirrors and make sure to put a clearcoat over them.

I ordered a set of OEM S4 caps, so I will have a set of black ones once I get them next week. I don't have a price in mind yet, but I'll shoot you a pm when I make the switch.
