I am bidding for a set of Black Gloss Mirror covers from Ebay. Has anyone ever fitted these? Are they easy to do? What's the idea do they clip on or stick on with adhesive?

Cheers

Barry

They can be a touch tricky....they clip on. A step by step guide can be found here (http://www.mini2.com/forum/faq.php?faq=faq_exterior#faq_faq_wing_mirror_caps)

you should get a pair of Chrome sidelight/indicator bulbs as well (flash orange ) takes away that fried egg look when you look at the front also on that post of heather how to fit ..takes two mins to do , and about £4ish tops I think

Took you advice and have ordered them as well Angus. Was thinking of getting new grills for the side indicators. Don't want "S" ones or anything too flashy, just something simply (like me :D)

Might be an idea to change both at once Barry. I have the flame (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4640519997) ones. i think they look really good on the black. Feel free to have a look the next time you pass Kitty.

Heather had a peek at Kitty when I got home. They look great but I don't want you to think I am copying you!
Going to get the 17" S rims on these weekend and will have a look at what else to get. Think I might just get some black indicators for the side! Keep it subtle and all that!
