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.

paint em. fo sho.
body colour and white mirrors/roof/stripes works best on roundys. IMO.
now im not a roundy, squarey racist. i just know what i likes. and i likes straight colours on clubmans and i likes body colour and white on roundys.

Some things work with one and not the other. it just looks weird when u cross em over.

spotty's
stripes
chrome bullet mirrors
are for roundys

black decaled bonnets
rice lights
full length seats
are for clubby's

BUT, that's only one guys opinion :wink:
