Hi all, got a price for wrapping of the mirror housing- £75 carbon effect and £65 for black gloss.
Doe anyone know where I can get some mirror housings from?


Cheers,


Jim

Mirror covers are about £14 from TPS iirc. Covering them yourself is easy peasy. Just warm the vinyl with a hair dryer when you are applying it.

The 3M stuff is so cheap to buy and the mirrors caps are so small, you can afford to have a few goes at getting it spot on. I certainly wouldn't want to pay that sort of £65-75 for it to be done.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

Great idea, I assume I wouldn't be able to buy stuff direct from TPS?

Come to think of it, would the R mirror caps fit the GTI's?  If so does anyone know how much they are?

LOL, I found them earlier and added them to my watch list.  I think that price is a bit steep but as I don't know thw price from TPS I could be wrong.
