Of course I am now regretting not picking up an RS version :eek: but I am now wondering how much it would be (approx) to get the mirror covers painted to match the rest of the car? Has anyone had this done?

I paid $60.00Nz to have my LED one's painted :thumbsup:

That's not too bad.

I don't know if I would be able to find any at the local scrap yard since we barely have any Yarii here in town. So just getting them painted would be easier. :tongue:

what color is your car? you could consider replacing them for some pre-painted covers with LED indicator repeaters!

sorry to hijack the thread ^ it's sorta related. newb post. sorry but I'm just wondering about getting my mirror out, someone/thing broke it. the glass just fell out but there is still a panel left on inside the cover. does that just pull off? I read a DIY thread that mentions just pushing the top of the mirror in and pulling the bottom but it feels like a clip or something is holding it and going to break if I just PULL it off. any help? the scrap yard wants to sell me the entire cover.

yup, just push on the top a bit hard (if you have power mirrors it will click-click-click until it stops moving)

then slip your other fingers under the mirror and pull it out toward you. The clips are a bit tight but don't worry about it :smile:

I tried looking, but they don't seem to have Bayou Blue Metallic :frown:
