That's a shame that they don't fit after the effort of painting them. As you are thinking about doing the work to make them fit, as an alternative would it be possible to take the lenses and adapt the covers from a RHD car, it seems a lot of work either way.

Hello
So now we are on the lookout for a few LHD breakers, it's never ending when we get into mods, which I enjoy

Are we after the passenger side also?
Cheers

yeah i going to get a full set off a breaker hopefully some of the eyes i have asked will come up and i can nab a full set but getting the angle right on a lhd mirror on a rhd car may throw up another hurdle but i will get there

Hello,
I was wondering about the angle issue. I will definitely be buying these if you can resolve all issues, it's just unfortunate you have become our guinea pig.
But if your are succesful I am sure your efforts will not be in vain as a few of us will follow suit - if we can find LHD breakers that is.
Cheers
Thinking about this, perhaps we can transfer the inner gubbings, motor etc, from our RHD into the LHD casing.

well the left hand mirrors turned up and the mirrors are a perfect fit thanks for paul240480 for sourcing me a set of lhd drive ones

Now to paint the mirror surround black and i will get photos up

Hello,
Been thinking about you and this issue over the weekend, and meant to leave a message.
Thanks for following up.
Will the mirrors still adjust ok for the UK as they are now LHD housing?
Paul: nice one! You may have further orders

Cheers

Won't know for sure but I know the mirror lens are handed so uk ones won't fit and thanks to parcel farce who managed to break one

Thanatos · Mar 11th, 2014, 18:22

And the covers are a perfect fit
