No.....sorry....but where did you get them and how much( sorry to be nosey ).
The ones on mine were taken off with a 3/4" chisel going by the state of my paint work, was looking to replace them.

Sorry to be of no help

Got them from Grade A for £120 used, but then I found out that Graham Goode Racing sell them for £127 new!!

On my classic, they were just stuck on with double sided foam tape, you know the type that you use to stick number plates/ trim onto cars,
Can be bought from any decent motor factors.

Default Ah...

...I've figured out how to fit it:

Pull down the rubber seal from wing mirror end

Offer up the wind defl. to the car body

Line up the little bendy brackets with the screw holes now visible because you removed the rubber. The brackets are shaped to fit the contours of the plastic trim

Screw in the brackets using the same screws

Remove backing film from tape and carefully stick to clean bodywork

Replace rubber seal - quite tricky to get right...

Sorted!

The ones I got (which i presume were off an import) were dark smoke with a blueish hue and match my tinted glass just fine!

GGR says their ones are brown smoke?

these were fitted my to my MY00 when I bought it and I was considering taking them off really as I still get a fair bit of wind-noise.

Anyone on here know much of a difference they make? It's quite bad at times now so god knows what it's like without them...
