i tried to post this not long ago and didnt get an answer so im still stuck on what i need to do.

do i need to buy a new wing mirror which is primed ... or can the garage just spray the stock ones.

thanks for your help

rich

stock ones i would have though as long as the are rub down and primed

ok thanks alot for that .. i shall be booking it in soon then. :-)

they also told me that they wernt sure if they wanted to do the side trim incase it flaked off

surely that wouldnt happen if it was primed properly ?

Are you going for different colour mirrors to the rest of your car? if so what colour? just being nosey lol

side trim should be fine if rub down and primed

quite a few people here have sprayed them. They look good

but whatch out for doors opening on them as it marks the paint easy

good luck with it dez ;)

Spary the mirrors yourself, paint and primer only costs a tenner.

Ok fair enough. about 90% of the job is in the prep work... Would probably be best to buy pre-primed parts from ford for best results if possible

hmmm, i will see what the garage im goin to says about it.

some where on the net poss MFD aftersales i have seen chrome covers for the MK6 mirrors might be a thought, but sorry cant quite remember just where i saw them perhaps a check on google or ask.com

I want mirror covers to go over my ones but they don't do them in Oyster silvers

100 quid for a pair of plastic covers !!!

I think the black trim etc looks good, breaks the car up a bit ....

Give the trim a good clean, i personally use Meguiars Trim Detailer and itl bring it up like new, would certianly be cheaper?

£100 thats a rip off.............. those chrome ones ARE covers that replace the painted plastic bit but cant remember just where i saw them and i think they were around half the price that you just Quoted Helena

Not sure if this is what you are after.

Yeah I seen chrome ones on ebay was gonna get the grill and door hands to go with them but then thought too much hassle and I don't have the time or cash really. I quite like the black on me car anyways just wouldn't mind giving my wing mirrors a splash of colour coding aswell.

Look at the price

Yeh, the price is a bit steep and i would imagine there will be postage costs on top of that!

would the st mirrors fit on a pre - facelift mk6 tho ?

and i think 100 pound is a bit steep

i have just been to a garage and they said they could do them for 40 pound.

but im not sure what they will look like, not sure if i trust the garage.

According to the site they will fit the Mk6 Fiesta from 21/12/2005 onwards ..

But if youre getting a quote of £40 then i would go for that, shop around and use that quote against other garages?

I thi8nk they are for the MK6.5 arn't they ?

With them being electric door mirrors and what not ?

if your still looking to do this, then do a DIY job :) primer paint and laquer £9.00, only £3.00 a rattle can and you only need one of each. just make sure you remove all the texture from on the wing mirror before spraying. :)

I'm doing it!

Send me a link to some good stuff I can use. I don't trust myself with buying paints
