I fancy adding just some subtle carbon parts to my floret silver car. It's a little too silver and I think the contrast would look nice. Saw the genuine audi ones on a car today at a dealer and they do look good, but I'm not about to spend $700+ on them. I don't want them that bad !
I've seen them on eBay from Hong Kong or China for about $160 to $200 and in the US for around $280 (I think it may be a US supplier just reselling the Chinese ones). I've seen a better deal on the genuine Audi ones, I think it was Ngpracing.com, but I need them with lane assist. It looks like they only have non lane assist.

Has anyone any experience with quality of the non genuine ones ? I'm not interested in the stick over carbon covers, only the ones that come with the original abs plastic mirror cap covered with carbon, so you swap out the mirror cover.

Looks like I'll be finding out the hard way, lol

I have the OEM ones, they are awesome... But no experience otherwise.

Step over to the A4/B9 forum and find threads and photos of the world's supply of carbon fiber, including a wrap for your key.

I don't think I could spend the $$$ for the OEM ones, but I agree they look really good.

I'll check out the A4 forum also. I'm pretty sure I did a quick search on there for 'carbon' but didn't find anything for mirrors. I'll give it another try. Thanks.

Decided I couldn't pay the $$$ for OEM ones and I found a set from China that were cheap enough to take a chance on and the seller had a couple of decent reviews on them. Once I have them I'll post pics and review them here so others can either buy with confidence or learn from my mistake !
