Default Chrome mirrors for Porsche Cayenne Turbo S (MY2006)

Does anyone know a "good" supplier of chrome mirrors for a Turbo S (MY2006) ?

Any suggestions of complete mirrors with chrome covers or just chrome covers will be greatly appreciated.

I would suggest posting this request on 6speedonline .... your one stop source for "bling" and "mods".

Wait a minooote. Chrome mirrors can serve as vanity mirrors. I think that we should include them in the approved list of functional mods.

If you get the Mirrors you will need all this other "Chromy Stuff"

Beware of mounting aftermarket decorative items onto your mirror casings. I've seen instances where some of these covers (on other vehicles) actually create mini vortexes around the trailing edge of the mirror cover and in turn, make the mirror glass dance or vibrate at highway speeds.

Yes, of course.
Given the targeted demographic, being able to check you makeup both inside AND outside the P!g would be a huge selling point.

Perhaps it should also be suggested as an approved mod for the hairdresser's car as well ....

You know that I know that you know that we are thinking the same thing. Right? Should we wrap them and send them as a surprise gift?

Use pink tissue paper. That's Divot's favorite color.

Fair warning - I'm back up with WiFi and ready to defend myself.

Thanks for all the tips, both good and bad ;-)

I sense that most don`t like this idea, and I have to say I agree.

They`re not for my car...

I have seen some Cayenne`s (in black) with brushed aluminium mirrors. That look`s good in my opinion.
