If you want it to look 'phat' leave them red. Makes the car look wider...

Im thinking about painting mine red for that reason (currently black)

If you leave them white, it will look like you nicked 'em off a white car (which you may have done ;) ) - no cars come as standard with "contrasting" mirrors. That may be the look you're going for...

If you want to break up the red, design some unique side strips and get them cut from mirror vinyl. Just a little bling, unless you ARE a pimp.


Actually some minis did come as standard with "contrasting" mirrors. My Rover has red body, white roof, white mirrors. Most Coopers have contrasting mirrors.

Will we ever see J_A_M in any other state? Maybe Albury for Minis on the Murray? It would be great to catch up with all you guys up there.
