X8R fibreglass wing mirrors

[Mor61e]

Has anyone bought one of these and can confirm if they are good quality?

I just snapped mine whilst manouvering the car in the garage

I'm only interested if they are as good as, or better than the original metal ones. If not I'll get an OEM one

Thanks
Dan

@Davyhoogy had a pair for sale with the resin bases and body

The design of the mirror is very good in that they won't corrode like the original do which mean that you'll be able to rotate your mirrors without the risk of snapping the neck.

However, mine arrived slightly damaged, I bought mine more as an upgrade as I liked the idea of being able to fold my mirror when parking in a tight spot etc.

Once the damaged areas were repaired and painted it looks okay. I did get a partial refund to compensate for the damaged areas.

Also worth mentioning that as the base isn't aluminium it won't oxidise.

I bought one for the drivers door, good quality and no problems with fitting.

How much are you after for the drivers side only @Davyhoogy ?

@spurs fan in a coupe may have some for sale

Got one for mine after an encounter with a car-park cretin, will eventually get round to buying one for the other side before the corrosion gets much worse. No problems with the quality of the X8R mirror base.

I would need £125 really as the fibreglass is £95 and it comes with the rest of the bits, heated glass, motor and casing.

That's too much for me as I only need the base but thanks anyway

No problem.
You'l need to buy the kit from eBay for 95 and your correct paint to match it
