Hi all!

Anyone can tell me how to remove the coloured part on the exterior mirrors (without damaging)? I have bought new ones for both sides (they fold electrically ), but not the same colour...

Thanks!

I stripped one down once, no problems. When I tried to do the other one, I "Chickened out" because I felt something was going to break. I forget the sequence as it was a while ago, but common sense and a little care helped. I did take a few pics if it will help, let me know if you want them sending.

[Dany]

Yeah some pics will always helps... Thank you!

That's very interesting, do you only have to have new mirrors and a new switch and they'll work? Where did you find your mirrors from?

Yeah Josh, they looks like normal mirrors but they have a little motor in. The switch have an extra buttonto fold the mirrors. I have received the complete loom in case of my car is not prewired... Have bought all this and 4 Irmscher doorpins from Germany for 225 Euros shipped!

I can post some pics and a video when all is installed on the car perhaps

Nice Darts!

Is there a feature where you wan wire this into Ignition live, and have them fold/unfold when ignition switched off/on?

Do they do these mirrors for Pre-F/L?  I know this type of mirror doesn;t 'fold' as such, but they do move in a bit.

Thanks for the reply 
Some pictures would be excellent, I've often wondered how hard it would be to fit the folding door mirrors.
225 Euro's seems a very good price, I'm very jealous 

[Dany]

225 Euros WITH 4 Irmscher brushed alu doorpins AND shipping costs to Belgium! LOL

I think the harder job is to replace the painted part without damaging... When I have this done, the rest would be easy and I promise some pics ;-)

Here's a little video I've found on youtube foretaste

I have already thought about the "ignition folding function"... I will see that later, I want install these mirrors properly first, but I think all is possible!

FIRST, if anyone here can help to remove safely these painted parts, the job will be done faster

Thank you a lot for pics and help Glen, job done!

Cheers.

Care to share these  ?

Glad to have been of help Dany. I think you are now obliged to do a "How-to".  Hehe   

[Dany]

Ok, I will do that this weekend when I will install my "new" ones 

[Sixstring]

Dany.....

If you want them to fold in every time ign is turned off, do you have any ideas for a circuit? if not, will design a little "mod" for you when I have 10 mins???
