Blackline mirror indicator installed

Originally had on the light grey option after installing autoid M2C style mirror caps.

However more recently wondered what going darker would look like, since I have the grilles and side gills in gloss black.

I'm sorta undecided but growing to like it.

Using the fob the amber seemed dramatically dimmer, weak even. Have yet to test actually indicating/hazards.

Obviously the very tip of the plastic indicator housing is still transparent clear, which is sorta irksome.

I may fold and try the ebay/aliexpress smoke dynamic sweep/audi style ones, even though I don't really care that my care has dynamic sweep as it isn't OEM but I won't see it myself anyway so....

Anyway, some pics for reference before and after:










Edit these are a real bitch to get right, can they just be made slightly longer and trimmed by end user with a scalpel.

Also on both generations I've had the fit at the nearest side to the car is not quite OEM fitment, very minimal though.

Can vouch for the vinyl quality though, prev ones on for over a year on the car and peeled them off still very sticky and tough feeling.
