#1: A question.... Author: Swardy, Location: CambridgePosted: Sat Jan 15, 2011 8:20 am ---- how easy and how expensive is it to change a wing mirror on a 206 gti? It has electric mirrors.
fyi, my car's black, in case anyone has one going spare!!
#2: Re: A question.... Author: tomd0801754, Location: MoscowPosted: Sat Jan 15, 2011 8:25 am ---- 3 Bolts. Simple really.
All you have to do is open the door, pull the tweeter cover away, you will see the 3 bolts. Undo them, replace the wingmirror, re-tighten. Admire your work.

what about the electrics dude?
excuse my ignorance!!
Also, sounds stupid but I've never really thought about it, but are the wing mirrors on gti's always black? looking into it it seems so....
#4: Re: A question.... Author: Jordan_xsi, Location: IpswichPosted: Sat Jan 15, 2011 8:28 am ---- Depends if the car is preplexed or multiplexed, you can get them on ebay for around £30-40 each just make sure you get the right one! As tom said there really easy to change yourself aswell.

It's preplexed mate. Just had a quick look on ebay and there's a guy specialising in wing mirrors doing them for £80... cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBay...0501126109

I'm a muppet when it comes to this sort of thing but surely the electrical side will just be a clip in the connector type job?? or at least i hope so!!
#8: Re: A question.... Author: DJ-, Location: UKPosted: Sat Jan 15, 2011 8:32 am ---- yeh just look at the colour of the plugs on the mirrors and make sure theyre the same
#9: Re: A question.... Author: Jordan_xsi, Location: IpswichPosted: Sat Jan 15, 2011 8:39 am ---- Oh my bad i just assumed they were to do with it aswell
Is it white for the newer ones then or is it a case of you could have either?

#12: Re: A question.... Author: Swardy, Location: CambridgePosted: Sat Jan 15, 2011 8:54 am ---- so can anyone confirm if the mirrors are always black? i.e. the one colour?
#13: Re: A question.... Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Sat Jan 15, 2011 8:58 am ---- On a GTi they are gloss black unless the 206 is black then they are onyx black.
You will either have a white 3x3 connector or a brown 2x5
If you buy mirrors with a different connector, you can change them anyway. Or hard wire them in

Cheers mate!
That site i posted seems good and it's only £57 including spraying so might go down that route!
