just a note on removing the maual winders: there is a cover on the crank that can be pried up from the opposite end to which youi can grab thus exposing the screw
MOLE by spline do you mean torx?
MOLE nice plate on the scooby

Well its like the big mother I had when I was doing my suspension, 12 points I believe?

right well it goes by the names like milti point torx, tripple square, spline drive etc

Ok

Right, after thinking about it, not all of the mirror is colour coded at factory, just the main body of it. So.... Just rip the cover off! (technical terms there! ) No need to take the whole mirror off if you are just getting the main part sprayed.
