add heywood Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 So made a start fitting my apr carbon wing mirrors. Everything seemed quite easy. The oem wing mirrors rotate left and right at the base so you can access the fixing screws. Unfortunately one of mine was fduked so will have to find someone with a broken stud extractor to sor it. You have to take the door card off, then take the speaker out of the door to find where the wiring clip joins the loom... Got them on... Next problem was the great paintwork the first bodyshop I used did... Took the standard mirrors off to find they hadn't been removed when the kit was fitted and painted (had the doors blown in aswell). Look a mess... So until I can be bothered getting the car to the paint shop again I was speaking to someone at Japfest who said why not try and get a sticker or something to cover the bad paint. This gave me an idea... Bought a sheet of 2mm carbon (the real stuff not fake), then made a template of the area of bad paint. Cut it and sanded into a nice oval... Looks pretty good, and only cost £20 for an a4 sheet of carbon, rather than £££ for the doors to be done again... Bit of a wheeler dealer fix but pretty happy with how it turned out...
