Wing mirror cover
Need some help...
Someone kindly smashed the white plastic cover off my drivers side wing mirror and I'm now going to have to replace it. The wing mirror itself is fine.
Just been quoted £150 by VW for part, painting and fitment. Unbelievable.
Can anyone recommend an alternative solution?

Re: Wing mirror cover
They can be bought for around £30 each from ebay or eurocarparts primed. But then you need to get them painted.

Re: Wing mirror cover
Any ideas what painting costs would be? Considering getting some and having them done black.

Re: Wing mirror cover
I have no other carbon fiber on my car so they would look a little odd. I have gloss black 19s so I would rather they matched those.
Re: Wing mirror cover
We'll just get some gloss black vinyl instead? Cheaper and easier than painting

Re: Wing mirror cover
I bought some carbon fibre ones from eBay, £85 delivered for a pair.
