fitting wingmirrors - mk1

[samg1988]

is it simple to switch the black wingmirrors on a mk1 to those that are colour-coded? from a valver for example?

I think it's just a case of taking the interior plastic covers off, undoing some bolts, then replacing the mirrors and doing them up again!

Be careful though - if you haven't got electric mirrors you'll have to get manual colour coded ones or you'll be unable to move the glass lol

Careful the RT's have colour coded mirrors, but they are electric and heated. So like said above you wont be able to move it from inside.

ok cheers. so its basically, dont convert a manual to an electric one or vice versa to save hassle.

The ones on the RT are electric btw sam.

 

[samg1988]

haha. awesome im in two minds whether to bother changing them if theyr electric then. i dont want to f**k anything up.

Should be able to get some valver ones that would go straight on as well I would think as they are electric as well. The other alternative would be to just spray the current ones.

 

[samg1988]

cool. if you spy any valver ones let me know. rekon it would be cheaper than spraying.

I did it!

Simple as anything to change them over! my old ones were manual, my new colour coded ones are eletric. you can move the glass around by pushing it and it stays there. its almost summer so you dont need the heater lark... and they look a million times better, DO IT!

colour code the mirrors you got?

colour code the mirrors you got?

i have a feeling that would cost more than getting some already coloured ones from a clio being broken?
