I think so too... but, replacing those with brushed aluminum might look good on a dark colored car.

Default agreed, though i'm not a fan of the s4-look mirrors on the tt.
that seem odd to anyone else?

Default i don't think so...
i zoomed in on the photo in photoshop. looks like it's aluminum. can't see any green in that area at all.

Default if you can find other instances where it looks like they're aluminum...
i'm with you.

but based on this pic alone, i think it's a specular highlight.

they look good on s4's and such... but look wrong on tt's, IMO.
