I assumed CDs note was meant to be tongue-in-cheek -- these are not Citroen chevrons. WEGU is high quality OEM supplier and those Chevrons are what they put on their own branded flaps which are often as desirable (sometimes more). They are OEM supplier for MB and perhaps even for BMW.
While i appreciate your opinion, i do have to say i disagree with all your points. I can see how they look similar to a Citroen logo, but i tend to look at them from a point of view similar to Bueller's with the arrow signs in the twisties.
As far as them being hard to sell? If you look at many of the positive comments in this thread, it does seem to me that people (not including yourself) do actually like them. Not to mention someone has already offered to buy them at the top of this thread, and i haven't even mentioned selling, and dont plan to!
I bought these because they are somewhat unique and i like them, had i wanted black ones i would have bought a pair of black ones like all the somewhat common ones you tend to see from time to time, so why would i paint them black?
so what's a body to do?
keep them the way they are and call it a day!
