Styling HELP! Wing mirrors

amar17 · Nov 22, 2009

hey
got hold of some VXR wing mirrors on the cheap. Now....how do i get them fitted :S as i dont really have a clue. is there some specialist i can take them to?

RD55 DUN · Nov 22, 2009

i would assume a bodyshop would fit them.

why dont you take the GP mirrors off if you get a chance and match the VXR ones up, see if there is much of a difference in the fittments to the car.

you brought parts that you cant fit & dont know if they actually do fit

I even said in the other thread its not a straight swap ffs.

Door card off unbolt wing mirror and bolt on new one.

But got to take into consideration how the factory wing mirrors disconnect and if your new ones are electric or not.

Only if you want to be super cool with heated wing mirrors

You get those blue ones off ebay? i forgot all about them!

its a custom job so unless you want to take it to a place that will charge loads then you will probably have to do it yourself

punto_matt · Nov 23, 2009

worth a go, cupra splitter was a bodge to start with ended up setting a trend on here.

i say go for it, but, make sure you dont do anything irriversible until you have them working and know they'd fit. gotta post pics too so everyone can see.

think the fitment would be the tricky bit wiring isnt too bad once you know what ur looking at.

Bolt holes are direct fit! The wiring is the headache

hi guys, just an update, finally got some spare time from college and took my car n the mirrors to a local body shop. they said they can get them fitted no problem, but as already mentioned its the electrics that are the problem. Going to take it around again next weekend and see if we can tinker around with the circuitry
