Hi guys, took some of your advice and went with the mazda mx-5 wing mirrors (cost me £100) from the mx5city website.
Strange they came without any bolts.. But yeah looks like it involves grinding out stumps off old wing mirrors? so not a job I can do myself (don't want to damage paintwork) just wondering how some of you's got on when fitting them to your car really? Any issues?
The car body shop i visited said it could damage paintwork when grinding the stumps out which may involve a door respray at £120 per side! :/ then he suggested bonding them on instead of bolts so im really unsure at this current moment.
All i know is they do look pretty sweet in chrome!





Oh and a few other bits i ordered.. Black & chrome union jack badge & Stainless steel TVR kickplates which ive already encountered an issue.. the screw directly uunder the door slightly catches the kickplate an scratches it frown
