Mirror Cover removal

Very useful write-up thanks Doug, I remember when we used to pay more for Body coloured wing mirrors, now we go out of our way for Black

My Evoque now

Thanks for the pics Doug. I really want to do the silver bull bar and black diffuser mod - did you have them painted or wrapped?

Was was thinking of having them wrapped, but has the silver part can't be removed to wrap around the corners (fear of peeling) & in the line of fire from any stones I went for spray paint.
I had all the work done at different times, but grille,vents,rear waist finisher,front & rear bull bars/diffuser & mirrors only cost me £350 from a friend I know which owns a body shop.

Thanks Doug very helpful.......

Welcome Acorn,

All ways pleased to help.

Thanks Doug, you're a star for posting the instructions for changing the mirror covers. How come you made it so much easier than the LR instructions? Common sense was involved in your instructions, ..that may be the BIG difference . Some numpty managed to scuff the very edge of one of my Santorini Black covers last week, ..must have been in a supermarket car park, so I made good use of your guide and popped a new one on. Thanks again, Buddy, great job. Paula xx

Thanks Paula

Thanks also Doug for the instructions. Someone keyed my right mirror so it was a perfect time to get the carbon fiber mirror covers. Your instructions were very helpful on how to remove and install the new ones. Thanks!
