Mirror facelift - things are closer than they appear!!

Evening all

I've mentioned on a few other threads that the mirrors and front bumper are to be changed for the facelifted versions - I've already done a few other things - wheels (easier to change them over than to refurb them), instrument cluster (needed to get TPMS working correctly), window switches (because I could!!) and no it's time to do the mirrors

I've already upgraded mine to the powered folding type (http://www.slkworld.com/general-modifications-r171/33942-folding-mirrors-making-start.html) and these will aslo be powered fold

So - I managed to grab a couple of facelifted mirrors - only the drivers mechanism is the motorised folding type so still on the lookout for the passengerside one .. (this happened when I did the original power fold upgrade - it took longer to find the second one!!)

Here's a facelifted mirror



and showing the front ...



I have a pair - in a strange twist of fate, they are both the same Fire Opal red ...

Pre stripping for spraying



And stripped of all of the internals, ready for spraying



I picked up the newly sprayed bits today, ready to be re-assembled



and



A little job for the Christmas break - it won't take too long to refit the indicators and swivel bases and then they'll be ready to bolt to the car ...

More to follow ...
