Colour Coded Mirror covers were introduced predominantly in the late eighties.
They have no practical use.
They are purely a cosmetic feature introduced to make your car appear better.
However they can be a nuisance as almost any contact will result in the paint being removed making your car look unsightly.
Almost all new cars now have colour co-ordination of some description the bumpers mirrors and side mouldings being favourite some also have colour coded door handles.
Historically mirrors were of metal construction and corroded.
However new types of paint materials is allowing easy colouring of the plastics making the colour coded mirror ever more popular.
