Again apollagies all for this. Its all my fault.
Lets just hope Kevin comes home from work to a parcel containing great mirrors that fit perfectly and everyone gets an identical parcel, then we can strike a line under this as a case of nothing more than Xmas and New Year festivities spoiled an otherwise great transaction.

Recieved the mirror's today and the quality is spot on perfect !!! The fitment on the other hand is a complete joke how hard is it to match up 3 hole's ! they don't sit flush against the car as there is bump and the back of the mirror is flat so does not make room for this and makes it stick out ! i rushed my *** off atwork to get this done and im very dissapointed . i think ill keep mine and either redrill them or modifie them to fit as i dont believe ill be getting a refund .
So mat you better refud every one there money unles there willing to get them an modifie them like me .

Hi, thanks for the update. Is it a case of re-drilling and cutting a hole in the back to clear the bump?

Hi, i've just taken a mirror off, here's a pic, could you tell me which bit need modding. Note, my mirrors are manual adjust, so electric ones may be different.

Just thought, the screws thread into the mirror, does the new one have threaded holes? Or are they supplied with self tappers?
Looks like a case of grinding the hump flat, then using a screw with a large washer, as it's a screw mount?

I have had a pic sent with one fitted( thanks for the pics M535I!), and it looks wicked!

If the holes did line up, and the hump wasn't there, would they fit well with any gaps?

What a surprise

After all the f*****g about trying to get the mirrors,they don't fit as they should !

I don't think after this that anyone will be dealing with harry007 again and I personally think that he shouldn't be allowed to have anymore group buys or sell anything on this forum !

Right, harry won't send me the mirrors till evryone decides if their having them or not. Cos, if not many people want them, he won't send me mine as he'll be sending the lot back

I'll also wait to see what modifications are needed and what the fit is like before making a decision.

It speaks volumes to me that he has not been on here and told people that himself.
