Wanted Z3 WING Mirrors needed help

[Yas]

Hello I am searching for two wing mirrors for my Z3 from breakers and a good price can anyone suggest where I can buy them from I need the housing as well help!!

Ebay is probably your best bet Yas they are one item that is expensive, only other suggestion is too just keep an eye out for cars being broke that pop up some people don't know the value of the mirrors so you van get lucky.
@spurs fan in a coupe breaks them he may be able to help ive tagged him so he should be along soon .
by the way a nice choice of car

Hello and thank you I have looked at eBay very expensive but I suppose if you have a expensive car to be expected. I am also searching breakers. I hope he can help ... Your car looks fantastic! I will post a photo of mine once soon..

What's the issue with your current ones? If it's internal components there is a German guy who makes replacement bits. No good if it's the cases obviously!

They have a centre column that is made of alloy that becomes corrode and totally seizes so that they can't spring back and unfortunately it doesn't take much to snap them, If you do get new mirrors I would be interested in your broken ones as I could use the cases for hydro dipping

Oh of course I have a friend in Germany I have just asked to search for me also I will let you have the old ones no problem.

I have a pair of well used mirrors in silver, will check which code but prefacelift.

They will need to be removed in teh way suggested above in teh DIY (buy new after market spring section) and replace all old parts).

Might be more cost effective (they wont swivel as they are seized), but you could sell your old ones to @Sean d

Let me know if you're interested

@spurs fan in a coupe will they strip and release or are they solid mate

You can get them off the car without swivelling to reveal the allen bolts, I can get them off in one piece, they'd just nee to be refitted in the same method, easy enough.

I doubt you'd ever have enough WD40 to free up the spring.
