KiNK43 Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 So has someone hit it then? Think that mechanism has a spring in it other than that don't know. Altho I do have spare wing mirrors if ya need one. Pirates black tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 I hate it when that sort of thing happens, it's like when you're on a motorway and a stone hits the car, does no damage but makes a drama of the whole thing anyway! Hope the mirror is okay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philgor Posted December 19, 2012 Author Share Posted December 19, 2012 first of all, it wasn't hit, it was metal fatigue, not sure is anyone has stripped a door mirror down but it's quite easy to do.the folding mechinism has like a valve spring and a cap that cut's in to the the ally chassis of the mirror holding it in place, that cap has weakend and sprang off, it took a vice and 2 lambda scoket's (one's with cut out's for the wiring) to squeeze it back on, putting it back on all ok, started to bang the door card on and i heard the bang again so it's now got a cable tie holding it in place (ghetto or what )anyway i've been meaning to have a look at the mirror as the heated bit isn't working, and that's down to it having a replacement mirror at some point in it's life, and the the wire's to the heated element are rotton as well.also the spring on the passenger side is also weak aswellkrzys and unicycingtom, yeah know the feeling, it was a oh $hit moment WTF was that.kink43, what do you want for them as i do need some quickly, i take it their heated and electric the mirror and base plate's are all ok, just need the internal's are needed although they are going to be a swine to do as mirror motor's seem to be hard wired to the loom and the plug won't fit through the mirror either..the other thing i need to decide on is what color to paint the wheel's. any idea's i'm thinking of oem silver like this \/not sure if it help's but the vtis kit is going black, not sure if it's gonna be PB (rear skirt and side skirt are already PB), NHB, matt black, or gloss black.the mid boot spoiler is going silver though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 yeah like that colour dude.£25 posted for both mirrors.theres a couple of minor scuffs/marks.they were KNIGHTS.hes got mine when he took the doors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philgor Posted December 20, 2012 Author Share Posted December 20, 2012 cheer's jake, don't mind the about the scratch's, as the internals' are what i need. you'll have a PM shortly about it.tom, i don't think bronze wheel's would suit a silver car.i think i am gonna go for silver, but would consider other idea's from people.

philgor Posted December 20, 2012 Author Share Posted December 20, 2012 on the other hand, they do look good, but i need to consider the centercap's that are genuine dc2 in silver and are quite rare.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philgor Posted December 21, 2012 Author Share Posted December 21, 2012 i look in to it in the new year.....as for the mirror, the cable tie didn't last long as some kind soul folded the mirror in for me snapping the cable tie, so now eletrical tape is keeping it in place.....
