driver mirror was damaged when a storm caused a basketball hoop fall and knocked the mirror off and some body damage.
the body shop found a salvaged 2015 Q
5 mirror however it was high black gloss and since my mirror was with a sport package and a flat black the insurance company is making the auto body shop paint it to "look" like the original mirror. I was told that the black base of these mirrors are a poured color and are not painted. Will my car hold its value with a painted to match mirror? Will the product chip or peel?
The insurance company is giving me a hard time purchasing the original mirror from Audi. I argue that even though it's an Audi mirror the original was not painted rather color infused mold that resists chipping as color is throughout plastic. am ver hesitant to accepted the mirror being painted. Please advise
