Keep hold of them Mat. You already inferred you didnt really want to get rid. Get a crowdfund account sorted pronto! I guarantee you will achieve what you're looking for financially and possibly more from donations made by us lot. Plus, we're all keen to see the finished article. Win Win fella ;) Do it now.... :poke:
Yeah but cash is mega tight!! And the mirrors will still be electric. I don't use them much?!
Understood. But get urself sorted with a crowdfund account asap so we can donate some cash to you. Youve already had pledges in this thread and i'm sure more will chip in! Then you can buy the bits you need and keep hold of the mirrors. Nothing ventured nothing gained ;)

I don't know you Matt. But in the short time I have been a member I have had a lot of useful and friendly advice from forum members. It's great to belong to a community where people genuinely want to help. I would be very pleased to chip in. Good luck with it all and please let us know if you set up a crowd funding account.

Thanks Perry.

Any takers on the mirrors I will be removing them Sunday and having a look at taking of the plastic outer shell.

From opening page of post :thumbsup:


I am removing no essential weight and unnecessary luxuries from my car. And i am skint and need a few things to finish of my build. In this case a wide band sensor and gauge. So i am offering for sale (and swap for your mirrors and switch) my power fold mirrors switch and control module. I would like £250 for the lot (seen single mirrors like this going for £130 without the module. I am as always open to offers i can only say yes or no.

I believe if your car is pre October 2004 these will be a straight swap. Later cars you will have to do some research. I am happy to remove any looms if easy to do so. I believe but will check the colour coded covers should come off so swapping should be easy.

The outer shells do remove - you would need to take the mirrors out first but there are a few torx bolts holding it all together. I removed mine when I tried a rubberised paint wrap a couple of years back.

How do you take the mirrors out? Just so I don't brake them!!

There's a sliding lock in the top part of the mirror - not easy to see, but you need to rotate the mirror to point towards the floor, then slide the lock to the left - it looks like a piece of plastic with a grove cut into it. I used a small electrical mains tester screwdriver as it fitted easily. You may want to put some masking tape on the mirror & housing in case you slip!

Once it slides left, the mirror should the come straight out. You will see some torx bolts to the left (looking a tad rusty) holding the black plastic mechanism to the red housing, there are others but you'll need to check (its a couple of years since I removed the shell, & old age is kicking in...) :

Also, don't forget the torx bolt underneath!!
