Okay so after my GP Thunder install, tonight I decided to swap the mirror caps to the Carbon Fibre ones I ordered from Dan.

Install went okay on the driver's right once I worked out the clips had a "double" grip so to speak. CF one clipped on and fitted perfectly. Driver's left one was easy except, I slightly scratched (it will buff out) the shadow line on the door trim when placing the CF cap on....be careful! I then discovered the clips aren't giving the tightest fit, meaning the cap moves around slightly. I've tried adjusting, but short of super gluing the tabs in place it can move around slightly. No biggie, just not a snug fit.

I'm actually not 100% sold on the look yet compared to the standard Le Mans Blue caps. They kind of look out of place. I'll wait till I see my car in the wild to place my full judgement.

One side done for comparison....does orig look better????

Both done....looks better, but not convinced
