The series 3 comes with the back panels of the mirrors painted, as well as the black rubber strips down the sides, and i reckon it looks shmick!

colour coding for sure, will eventually get mine done but i gotta try and find someone who can match me paint, i got a pressure pack from Autobarn to spray the hawk grill i put on and it isn't even close to the colour of the rest of the car, does anyone know anyone in the Geelong area who can do this at a reasonable price,
PS sorry for the added question to the original thread

If you are getting something else painted it would be a great opportunity to colour code you mirrors and consider side molds at the same time.

get them color coded so i can see what it looks like.........nah just kidding personally i would leave it. it looks the goods having tint and that whole window area black. but i would say do the side moulding if they arent alredly done. just go to the GK's workshop build to see (our) color and how it looks.

I had black ones not too long ago on the ute ... and I had mine colour-coded Winter White ... and it looks 10 times better than black.

Now I need to get the B-pillars painted gloss black .. much better than the current matt black.

Sparkling Burgundy is the Best Paint around , Apart from Congo Green (Winks at George and Normell)

White is too white (sorry Simon) and Black is too.. Racist lol

Try Blakes on Thompsons Rd, Nth Geelong (left hand side heading north, after the railway crossing). They did the work on my car, and they did a good job on colour matching. Tell them I sent you!

I bought a Monsoon Blue AU II Fairmont last week
Such a nice colour and colour coded mirrors / side mouldings look VERY nice!
