I really like theses mirrors allot. Wanted the CF ones like that but could only find them in japland and they where expensive for electric ones. Is that where you got yours? Were they expensive?

Ended up finding some non CF electric ones on ebay that had been titled wrong lol £47 second hand delivered bargin

Is that real carbon or a vinyl wrap? If its real carbon they've got that weave spot on!

I had some Ganadors abeit painted not carbon. Look good, but I prefer the stock mirrors.

Sold mine for £170 then bought a pair of mirrors standard in my colour for £16 deliverd. Bargain.

Scott, do they still have all the electrics in? Are they any lighter than the normal Ganadors?

Love these mirrors, really finish off a kitted car IMHO, look daft if the car is largely standard.

Hi Toni
They are lighter than the stock mirrors for sure.
Just finished connecting them now (yes, nearly 0030hrs :shock: ) and i had to adapt the plugs on the new mirrors. They came fitted with a much larger plug designed for the folding mirrors. I just picked out the pins and put them in the existing plug. Easy peasy.
As in this thread
http://www.imoc.co.uk/forums/viewtopic. ... ht=ganador
All you need is a needle.
All done now. Bit dark to take pics so will take some at the weekend.
Very happy in the way they look, and fully electrically functional too!

I'm buying all carbon stuff soon :D so might want a set of these bad boys :D Have you got any close ups of the weave? There's alot of cheapo mirrors on ebay with fake CF coverings.....just wondering if the weave looks better on these ones :)
