M3 mirror swap

onefastman · 05-06-2011, 07:52 AM

Anyone know how to take off the stock mirror's? I have the euro m3 mirrors with euro glass to take their place if I can just figure out how the hell to remove the stock ones.

My caps come in today so please let me know asap!

Thanks for the help guys!

Probably have to remove the door panels to get to the mirror fastners.

Actually, if I remember correctly (I just stripped my car down to do audio) You just need to remove the tweeter pods/sails. they are super easy to remove, just push down and away from the car. behind the the sails are the two screws to remove the mirrors along with the wires to control the functions. If you need anymore info ask away, my car is still stripped so I can go check for you.

I'm thinking about purchasing some 1M mirrors instead of the M3 mirrors. Would love to see pics of this guy's setup though.

I think the 1M and M3 mirrors are the same... correct me if I'm wrong.

Ya... they look the same, couldn't see why the "M" mirrors would change between M cars (3 and 1)

The M mirrors on the 1m Looks WAY better than M mirrors on a 128/135, so i figured they were different. They almost seem a little smaller. I guess the rest of the body helps to blend in the mirrors.
