OK, I have found a good quality supplier of Carbon Fibre replacement Mirror covers at a reasonable price. If there is enough interest I can see if there is the possibility of a group discount...
Post in here if interested.

Andych, did you end up getting the CF mirror covers?
No, I figured I would wait until my car is delivered and then make up my mind on what exactly I want to do...
the thing that put me off slightly is that these are actual replacement covers but without the little clips that hold the originals in place.
Carbon fibre doesn't have the "spring" required for these clips, so they are held in place with DS tape or Sikaflex.
As I am going to have the roof wrapped gloss black I think I will leave the mirrors gloss black as well... for now.

I am not sure... I will wait until I get the car and then talk to a couple of people who do wrapping and see what they think.
If it was the Trophy Spoiler I think I would wrap it... but I am just not sure with the standard one.

OK.. I had a good look at the Spoiler at the Dealer today and I am pretty sure I will continue the wrap over the spoiler.. lining up with the ridges that align with the roof line.
I have a price of $200 to wrap the roof and I guess it will be a bit more to include the spoiler... Looking good to get this done ASAP I think.

Thanks Mike... a far superior job than the one I was originally quoted by some graphics guys out my way...

The price landed on my door is $304 compared to the Kufatec item at $524.

Is the rear vision really that bad on the rocco that you need a camera?
As for real tail lights, stock looks good.

Why would you even bother to ask that question? It seems that the rear vision on your GTI is bad enough to require a Camera... the Roc is substantially more rear vision challenged than GTI.....
Apart from that... who said there needed to be an issue with rear vision to install an RVC?
