I am going to wrap them with gloss black vinyl soon. My car's silver so hopefully it'll look good along with the glossy black roof vinyl I will be installing as well.

@Matthew.. wow that looks beautiful! I always knew black and silver were a perfect match, and it's a change from all the white/black I see, haha.

I have a different front bumper but to be perfectly honest and even though it's cheaper than that one, I prefer it over that.

My next "major" step would be buying new rims but that'll take a while because they'll cost a lot, not to mention the tires, but they definitely do change the appearance of the car. Stock 16s are UGLY.

Thanks for sharing the picture, by the way, the mirrors and roof are exactly my target. :D

No problem. Yeah hes got to have one of the nicest Leons around "My opinion anyway". He painted the Wingmirrors + Roof, Said it was a better finish than vinyl. I understand they both have there pros and cons though. I'll be getting my wingmirrors painted black along with a few other bits and bobs :)
 
Gloss black all the I'm getting the door pillars and where the rear number plate sits,also the ugly grey plastic bit where the washer jets are wrap soon so go gloss it's the way forward.

I wouldn't mind spraying the mirrors because mirrors (or their covers) aren't too expensive to replace, whereas spraying the whole roof is not a good idea for me, especially when I consider the resale value and its legality (not sure if it's legal, to be honest).
 
You will only be able to wrap certain mirrors if you have a fl leon you will have to paint as the shape is to hard to wrap and you'll get a 2mm overlap.

Yeah there not that expensive. I was thinking the same, but im going to go for Paint. Dont plan on selling my car anytime soon and paint is a much better finish. Your not sure if its legal to paint your roof? Ofcourse it is lol! Paint your car what ever colour you like.
