Retrofit electric folding mirrors?

[dazza]

That's yellow motors tyre looks like it's touching the concrete post.

Nothing surprises me here mate.

I dread parking anywhere. The parking spaces are way to narrow. And when you park in the street someone will use your car as a parking sensor. Also its totally normal to use the car next to you as a door stop. 

I'd love a respray but its pointless here.

Haha, well yes in that situation, folding mirrors are convenient. But the amount they fold is not great. It's a 'nice to have', 'wouldn't bother doing anything to get' it kind of feature.

Nasir, I think they put the puddle lights in for when you're going to the car first thing or its been raining so you can look out for a puddle before treading in it. 
Pointless imho and the folders are useful if you've got a tight garage and don't want to get out of the car to fold them in. pain in the rear if you ask me. I wouldn't even waste a penny on things like that as they just cause extra stress.

Yes it makes sense in that regard. Plus it does make the car look more 'premium'.

I switched my puddle lights for LED's it makes a massive difference.

That's way too tight for parking bays 

It's the same with parking anywhere mate. I park as far as possible when going to asda or any supermarket but when I get back, there's always a banger parked up right next to mine and it's quite bugging that you had to find my car to park near.

Also people do tend to use other cars as parking sensors or door strips and this is everywhere  can't drive park open a door without slamming it up against the next car?, then walk

If it was on the car that's cool and as you mentioned I wouldn't go out my way to have it fitted

They look good but as dazza said the led's would suit best as I've seem then on ebay when I first bought the golf and wondered where mine were

well i always wanted to do this mod but lookin how far they fold in or not it would be pointless as my garage is pretty tight

If you have folding mirrors the mirror switch will have the fold function on it,  if it doesn't then your mirrors won't fold,  they don't just have the motors in dormant until people want to use them.  But from your scan you do have max modules both sides so potentially these will work folding mirrors
