Title: Stubby mirrors fitted aswell
Post by: mowlamb on 16 March 2011, 10:43
Had a few good changes to the car the last few days and today I managed to fit another one. Stubby Lupo mirrors :grin: :grin:

I resprayed both the mirror covers and base plates in Satin black to give them a nice even finish.

Here are some pics:

I really dont know what i make of them....... When i was in tenerife, all the mk4's had a stubby mirror mirror on the passenger side......... Looked kinda odd but havnt seen symmetrical stubby mirrors in the flesh. Certainly a good colour contrast!  :cool:

2 Questions here Mowlam.............

1. Are they easy to fit (the Lupo Mirrors)? I mean, is it just a straight swap for the old electric ones, plug & play? :undecided:

2. What you doin with the old mirrors? I'm after the cases  :laugh:

Yes they are a straight swap mate. The old mirrors were part of the deal for the lupo's. It was cash plus my original mirrors however the cases I had on them were from ebay so I still have my original reflex silver one's if you fancy them.

I won't say the price I paid as he is a mate but i think he normally sels them for about £100-£120 for the set. Probably better off looking in the scrappies. I wouldn't have got them if he hadn't offered me the set for what he did.

How much for the Reflex Silver cases mate? (posted to Plymouth). I want to spray them black, so don't mind scratches etc, but don't want them if they have cracks.

Let me know
