terribleturner Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 How easy/hard is it to install folding wing mirrors onto a car that didn't previously have them?? Was chatting to someone the other day about doing this and was wondering if anyone had bothered doing it and what sort of job was involved?

colsoop Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 I am in no way an expert but dont they use the original mounting points, if so then the only addition would be to run wires in to the dash area for the folding mirror switch, this is a theory so probably completely untrue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

how_supra Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 I feel I should add to the helpful comments. James you should have bought an FTO if you wanted folding mirrors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ibrar Jabbar Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 I will be fitting a pair to mine soon, will let you know once done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 problem is the plugs are different. The heated ones have smaller plugs than the folding ones. Also the dash panel is different as its got a switch in it. So therefore you will need the switch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
