Mirror cap opinion?
Bought checkered caps - deciding whether to use them or the original black caps on a British Green F55 - opinions?

I like the checkered. How hard was it to swap them?

Keep the black ones around. Some day you may want to paint them and have a new look.

Depends on your mood today. They're both pretty nice.

Both look OK to me, but if you go with the Checker pattern I recommend the matching Rear View Mirror cover...
Whatever you decide I'm sure you will like it.

Motor On!

Checkered all the way! I love the look of “loud” mirror caps, but I may be biased...
