Well after getting the head unit fitted and out of the way my next job was to remove the interior mirror to spray it mattblack
managed to remove the mirror and got the glass all masked over rubbed down ready to prime and put the mirror outside ready to prime completely forgot about the wind

and then........i heard it drop

just my luck the glass is in several pieces

what to do? well it was 5 mins before my local vw breaker was due to shut at 4 so quick call and have you an interior mirror? in luck yes they had one so i asked if i could fetch it as i didn't want to wait until tuesday was told fair enough come over so gets over to gateshead and asked whats your colour told them the creamy coloured one and not the rain sensor one either didnt have any that colour but......i have a black one

result(saved me painting it) and
£10 well happy gave it a clean and got it fitted and abit more of a plus managed to sell my old sports seats on e-bay for £107
New mirror
Fitted

turned out not to bad afterall maybe i should have thought about this in the first place.....
