Thanks, James

Mods, plz put this is the Clasified section :rolleyes:
-
Ive been meaning to get a set of these for ages, just cant bring myself to part with that sort of money for some wing mirror covers.
-
How much are you willing to pay. And what do you think is a reasonably price for some?
Thanks, James
-
I've lowered the price to £99.99 which I feel is a lot more reasonable. :D
James

I cant make my mind up on these (too much carbon as I already have the front grille . .. dont want to go OTT with it) and the fact I need to get new disks and pads all round next pay day means I shouldn't really be spending money on silly things I dont actually need lol.

Who needs a salesman when you can get rysho and Dan34 to pester potential customers into buying stuff.
They'll look good on your car mate... Will complement the front end :P
Your item has been dispatched so if Royal Mail do their job you should have it tomorrow..

-
Oi ! lol
Yeah, Im picking her up from work as she doesnt fancy the walk home with a big box. Will get them on when I get home this evening :)
-
Okay cool. Can't wait to see the pics :P
James
-
Just got to try and not break any glass now.
Had a quick butchers at the how to and it looks very simple (kiss of death me saying that :D)
-
^^^^^^^^^ Come on Al, pictures already!!!!! :smiley:
-
Bugger ! :(
Ive only got a T20 screwdriver which takes off all the body work etc, I need a T10 for the mirrors so clipped it all back together. Working from home tomorrow so will pop out in the morning and pick up a T10 and get them fitted during "lunch".
Bless her, she says "but there not the same colour as your car :undecided:"
"Don't worry, you wouldn't understand" was the reply :D
-
What do you thing to them regards to quality etc.. despite them not actually been on the car yet?
James
-
They seem pretty good mate, quality is very good.
-
Cool, cant wait for you to get them fitted. :D
James
-
Any joy?
james
-
Nah, gunna pop down road to get lunch in a bit, will pick it up then.
-
Oh good. The world is watching Allan... :shocked: :shocked:
-
ARGH !
I cant get the cover off. I've got this far. . .
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v92/twior/IMG_0602-1.jpg)
. . . and according to this guide (http://golfgtiguides.co.uk/guides/remove-mk5-wing-mirror-and-change-indicator/) I need to "Pry the two tabs gently using a flat bladed screwdriver"
(http://static.golfgtiguides.co.uk/images/posts/remove-mk5-wing-mirror-and-change-indicator/2.png)
Ive already managed to snap it a little bit, no matter how much I pry (do I pry forward, backwards?) It wont budge and f**k knows how im going to get to the one nearest the car, there just isnt any room (its so far back you cant see it in the pic I posted) :angry: :cry:
Any help Jim?
-
cars been parked up for 9 months and now its back on the road he starts taking it apart :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
-
Oh the irony. Take 2 seconds to put to back together, I just cant get the f**king cover off. I came inside to calm down before I snapped something. Going to pop back out in a sec and try again :(
-
:grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:
-
Regarding removing them, your guess is as good as mine. Just take your time, don't snap the original part.. Or the par that's attached to the car for that matter lol..
James
-
Come on Isabel, sort it out... :kiss:
-
Ah dont ! Its going to take lots of swearing and lots of effort. Spoke to my garage man today and he said how much of a pain in the arse it is to do as the plastic clips are REALLY stiff. I'm going to give it another go this evening but he said to pop down there tomorrow and he will give it a go.
If I fail tonight, which I probably will hopefully he will get them on tomorrow.
It all looks so easy in the "How to" :angry: :cry:
-
Shall we start placing bets on if it will take Alan 9 months to fit these
-
At least you know that when you get the CF ones fitted, it will be hard for some piky to come nick 'em :D
James
-

Funny you say as thats exactly what he said, he said in a way its good they are stiff so that no one can steal them but that in turns make them a pain to swap over. Cant have it all can you :D
-
In VW's defense, the average Joe isn't going to be swapping them over much anyway. lol.. Bad for chavs/pikys etc, an inconvenience for for modders lol.
-
Please tell me you've fitted them Allan :rolleyes: :lipsrsealed:
James
-
Well, I got them on at last lol bit dark now though.
Pics in the morning
