Cheap mirrors on eBay

Post by Alan W »

Just seen this pair or Z3 mirrors for sale on eBay.. they are selling a pair for what you'd normally expect to pay for just one

If you need them get in quick!!!

Even if you only need one you could buy them and sell the other for at least £120 (assuming that they are in good cond)

I would have thought M mirrors may fetch £150 each or £300 for the pair, surely not standard mirrors?

These mirrors are becoming more rare. Mostly as a result of the bases being lost through damage, and corrosion. An finally, because you guys have such issues with corrosion, the bases become "froze" and attempts at removing the mirror by turning them is resulting in broken alloy arms and broken plastic mirror covers. I think most breakers and certainly laymen, haven't figured how to remove the mirrors without turning them, which is what is required if the mirror is "frozen". So yes, these are going to become more expensive as time passes.
If you come across a set in godd condition, and store them, they will give you a return... :wink:

I have an element of 'M-styling' on my car, If that's a good enough reason for the manufacturers to adorn a 320 with the M badge, then its certainly a good enough reason for me..
