Firstly for the wing mirrors I havn't found anyone who does covers but I have found a renovation company who sell chrome spray paint at http://www.frost.co.uk/item_Detail.asp?productID=8213 . I would advise you though to get some mirrors from an 80 from the breakers and spray these and then you always have the option to go back to the original ones should you decide or when you come to sell it later.

As for chrome wheel arched eurocarparts used to sell them, not sure if they still do. I wouldn't go for these though as they will seriously devalue you car when you come to sell it and look very 80's and tacky.

Hmm, agree with what Rob says - wheelarch eyebrows a definite nono - IMO! Don't recall anything much else available. Boot luggage rack?

If you can't find any good chrome bits but want to personalise, a private plate is one of the best dress ups, particularly on the Audi Cab as it was in production so long no-one will know how old it is ( mine came with one - very pleased to say) My cabrio also has a body colour lower waistline (rather than black) which on bright red looks very good as it visually lowers the car. What about treating yourself to new alloys?

Rest assured you'll get virtually nothing back on resale for these mods so only worth doing to please yourself! Cool
