In-Pro Smoked Wing Mirror Indicators
« on: December 02, 2008, 09:05:30 pm »


WHY?

Because I like making my car that little bit different from all the other cars on the UK roads without it looking like a Max Power castoff.

SOURCING:

I brought them direct from Awesome GTI £26.62  I don’t often buy from them to be honest as I find them a bit expensive and I have a local source now for all my VW bits in Midland VW I cant fault there prices or service!

FITTING:

I’ll be honest i had a try and gave up the construction of the MK5 wing mirroes is a bit of an arse to say the least. So I got Midland VW to fit them and Jody (head honcho) agreed there a pain to fit.


PLUS POINTS:

Nice subtle modification I that does the job. Very good build quality and fitting.

MINUS POINTS:

Pain in the arse to fit!

SUMMARY:

If you want a darker look like I did go for it but a word of warning fitting is not for the light hearted.

Will post close ups on car :)

Good review, yeah I think they make quite a lot of difference over the OEM lens!!

Yeah bit annoying to fit, but once you've done one, the other takes a matter of seconds!!

When I first tried to change mine I gave up then I saw this guide and it was so simple to replace after that.

The only part of fitting which is a pain, is removing the actual cover, and if you remove the mirror glass, and motor, it gives you access to the fastening points.
