Does anyone know the exact paint code for it? and then is it just a case of a few coats of laquer after that? also is the mirror something i can take off by removing the door card?

cheers,

TBH I doubt you'll get quite the same finish on the mirror as a sprayer would if you have no experience (being black it'll probably be more noticeable as well) I only paid a bodyshop Â£30 to spray mine for me (you may get it done cheaper depending on what prices are like your way)

As for taking the mirror off, it's a case of removing the doorcard yeah - I can't remember if you have to take the tweeter pod of though, then theres 2 or 3 screws holiding it on.

It all become apparent once you've got the card off

Hope that helps.

Paint code is LC9Z. Get an aerosol mixed up and spray it yourself, is so easy!

ditto, i'm interested in a bigger one for the nearside... the stubby ones do look better and are more sought after but cant see sweet FA in em!

i can see where you coming from, the two big ones look better than i expected, Suit the car better imo. Small ones look a bit weird in that picture

si how long did it take for the item to be delivered? as im a bit weary of buying off the europeans.

Si_GTi · Post by **Si_GTi** » Thu Aug 16, 2007 5:48 pm

Delivery was only three or four days once payment had been sent, came really quickly
