Door mirror.

[richw911]

A friend of mine has broken off the door mirror cover on a mk4. Ive already asked you guys about taking the covers off because i was going to paint mine.(IIRC someone said its hard not to snap the clips) Anyway i can get a new cover for £18. My question is are thay as hard to fit as thay are to get off, IE: am i likely to snap the clips putting a new one on?? Any help would be cool

can i ask where your getting them from for £18, cheapest i could find was about £40 but that included the glass which i don't need. also does anyone know how much roughly it costs to paint two of them? cheers

p.s sorry to hijak your post

[richw911]

Yeah £18 is just for the platic cover in primer mate. £40 for the whole mirror sounds about right. If you take it to a paint shop Your looking at about £30-40 each side. Why not do it yourself- get a spray paint mixed up from halfords from your paint code for £10.99.

you should know better than that, threads always go off topic here 

as far as i know they are easier to put on than to get off, as the cover should slide over and clip in place.
