I have it here in the box. I am extremely pleased with it.

SEAT quoted me £160 to source me one! And this has cost me £50!

I plan to paint and fit it this weekend. Any suggestions on colour? I was going to go for a crazy colour like purple or red but now im not so sure. Might do them Anthracite/grey.

Did the cover come in primer or is it just black plastic?

yeah the mirror cover should pull off will jst be a bit tight, and you will have to take door card off just a few bolts under door handle trim.

Anthracite probably. I would love the new S3 like satin silver/alluminium effect.

Might paint them a dark shade of fine metalic silver and then a 'matt' clear coat.

^^anyone share thoughts on how this will come out?

20 euros = £17

Thanks for that. I went the other way and ordered a large passenger one off eBay 4 weeks ago, but after saying he shipped worldwide, the seller wouldn't tell me how much shipping would cost. Nows hes opened an 'unpaid item' case against me :ban: so I'll put 20 in the shipping cost and see what he does.

Please remember that rear vision is slightly impaired with the D/S stubby fitted. You have to lean slightly forward to get a full view.

IMO, still well worth it. I hate the large standard one!!!
