Do you want to remove the mirror completely from the car?

Would be nice but at £79 (http://www.madmotors.co.uk/exterior-styling/wing-mirrors/mm-vw-golf-mk6-08-12-carbon-wing-mirror-covers.html) is a lot to spend just for wing mirrors, maybe if I like it I might splash out and get a set but want an APR air box 1st  :grin:

Removing the whole mirror is easy. Unclip the trim with the tweeter in to give access to the mirror fixing bolts. Remove the door card and unplug the mirror wires from the control unit. Job done.
