ED35 Black door mirror housings?

[Mr GTD]

I've been in touch with my dealer who has said the following regarding costs...


Price for the mirror caps is £31.02 each Inc VAT and labour cost for
spraying is £132.00 Inc VAT (both caps)

I know it's expensive just for some covers but I'm quite tempted

Ah, so when the dealers say they are available "painted", what they really mean is that they get them primed ready for painting from VW and then they paint them afterwards themselves (or they send them to a local body shop to do it!)

Are the "R" mirrors painted in the same flat black (non metallic) as a regular non-metallic black Golf I wonder ?

Yes your correct they come primed and then the dealer paints'em, and yes again I think the R covers are painted in the way as the ED35's..

Yes sir, I stand corrected as the ED35 is the lesser of the two....

i'm doing my mirrors. Going to buy covers from dealer and have them sprayed gloss black I think to match inside of wheels

[mkviken]

would it not be cheaper/easier to vinyl wrap them and if you want to change them back its an easy job
