Hi Guy's i have a batch of carbon fibre mirror switch triangle sat in may garage that i had made when replacing parts on my old car which had the OEM carbon pack and i started going a bit mad with it replacing other parts to match. Basically i didn't like the price of some of the replacement parts available so found a manufacturer and had some made buying the mould etc. Its a long story and i ended up with 30 sets of them, basically i got carried away thinking it would be a nice pocket money side line and was going to have other parts made with the proceeds but it never happened.

I have had them on ebay for some time and do sell the odd set at £99 which is what they cost me to make plus ebay / postage and paypal fees, but if anyone wants a set on the site i can post them to you for £85 (no fees to pay). They will fit 997, 987 and Cayman, they are made of solid carbon fibre and not wrapped old parts with the clips at the back formed from rigid plastic that same as the OEM ones(you can't make these in CF) but these can't be seen when fitted. They are tweel pattern which very close to the OEM standard pattern just ever so slightly larger thread and they fitted exactly the same as your old ones as the mould was taken from OEM parts and i trial fitted a few sets to get them right.

I have a few photos of them here but if you want to see them fitted I have photos of this on the ebay listing but i cant find the original photos and they download to small to put up but please check them out on ebay as they show larger.

Thanks Mike, arrived today,

fantastic packaging & extremely high quality parts!

Fitting took less than 1 minute on passenger side, and about five on drivers door (as one of the original mirror switch metal clips jumped out during disassembly and four minutes were spent hunting for the shiny bit of metal on workshop floor)! My fault entirely !

TIP to anyone fitting these, compress the mirror spring retainers, when removing from original triangle, particularly the top one with a large flat blade screwdriver or similar.

All in all, total interchangeability with OEM and a fantastic visual upgrade lift to the interior for us Carbon tarts!

Thanks again! :worship: :thumbs:
 
That's great Stuart I am really glad you like them as there is always slight trepidation on how they will be recieved when selling bits, even if you you know they are good quality.

I hope the wife didn't think the box was a late Valentine's gift :floor:

Thanks also for your comments it's much appreciated, hope to see you around Norfolk soon and good luck at the weekend :thumb:
 
PM sent. :thumbs:
