This was a serious thread when it started, wasn't it ?  Tell me this is 
a joke that you just left the tongue in cheek off the end, Elvis.  
Please !!  Igor did not paint his mirrors with a spray can, and 
certainly not chrome.   There are Kamei chrome mirror caps that slip 
over the stock housing if you gotta go cheap, but let's not go beyond 
that, ok ?
Igor, please put the icon after the sarcasm for those slow to recognize 
it.
What I was interested in was the brushed aluminum caps that were OEM to 
RS4/6 and S8 I think, at a price point well below the 400 euro dealer 
price or the $349 ebay gouger price for the housing only.   These are 
each, by the way.  The recent ebay auctions indicate there are some 
(probably knockoffs) available in Germany in cast aluminum at a more 
reasonable price.   I would like to escape the repaint job on the 
mirrors again ( $125 this time) but not have to go to black plastic.
