Jonny87 Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 i dont no really what im doin so i would rather get a garage to do it. 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Air Hostess Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 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 Kristal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helena Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 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 !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazjs Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Air Hostess Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 I want mirror covers to go over my ones but they don't do them in Oyster silvers100 quid for a pair of plastic covers !!! £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 Kristal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I quite like the black on me car anyways just wouldn't mind giving my wing mirrors a splash of colour coding aswell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazjs Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Exact ones I found.Look at the price Yeh, the price is a bit steep and i would imagine there will be postage costs on top of that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berghii Posted May 12, 2009 Author Share Posted May 12, 2009 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?

Helena Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Yeh, the price is a bit steep and i would imagine there will be postage costs on top of that! I thi8nk they are for the MK6.5 arn't they ? With them being electric door mirrors and what not ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shade Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 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. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helena Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 I'm doing it! Send me a link to some good stuff I can use. I don't trust myself with buying paints Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
