No response from his email either I suppose  :fighting:

My carbon mirror covers are OSIR. Carbon mirror covers are expensive but a very good looking mod imo.

No response to emails for a while now, Jake got his but the three of us never got them. I guess it's the risk of sending money as a gift through paypal  :ashamed:  Had no issues with many others on here so as with most things it's the minority.

OSIR ones look great but I couldn't justify the cost. What I've bought aren't full wing mirrors, just covers. And for anyone interested they were £79 delivered. Once I've put them on I'll add a photo.

Im pretty new on here but have bought and sold a fair few things through the forum.

None of them through paypal but always bank transfer as it avoids fees on both sides and have never had a problem.

The majority on here it seems to me are an honest bunch who are willing to help out a fellow 'dubber'.

But there is always someone who takes advantage and ruins it for the rest of us. OK speech over!!!  :grin:

Love the C/F covers by the way but I don't think Id get away with them as I only have a 'GT' ay Robin??.........  :signLOL:

Sorry to be taking this off topic, but even though you paid as a gift, if you pay using a credit card then I believe you can still claim a chargeback though them.
Cool mirrors too, I have been thinking of getting some for a while for my silver GTi.

iirc for most cc purchases you need to spend over £100 to get the protection.

It was £109...but I didn't use a credit card. Good advice though if it works  :happy2:

Here's a link for anyone considering buying these. Theyre a good fit although i wont be putting them on till ive fitted my smoked indicators.  :pomppomp: Delivery does take about 4 weeks.
