LHD teardrop mirrors on a RHD car.

Hi all,

Wonder if I could please pick your collective brains.

I am looking to replace the orginal flag mirrors that came on my C2 with some nicer looking teardrop ones.

My car is RHD and I have seen the following for sale on ebay for £280, however they are from a LHD car:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PORSCHE-911-CUP-MIRRORS-TEARDROP-964-993-LHD-/160490893478?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item255e00b0a6

My question is what parts would I have to buy in addition to allow me to fit them to a RHD car? (If this can be done)

Also just wondering what the most cost effective way of doing the job?

If I have to buy addtional bits for the LHD mirrors should I just go the whole hog and buy new ones and get them sprayed? I presume I would have to get any additonal bits sprayed away before using them with the LHD mirrors.

My car is black, hence the interest in these ones on ebay!

Thanks in advance for any advice on this!

Adam,

All the information you need is on 964uk.com under Body & Trim FAQs.

What it says is:

The mirror housings are identical regardless of left or right hand drive. However, the mirror mounts are NOT.

The part numbers for the correct mounts for RHD cars are 965.731.241.01 (L) and 965.731.242.00 (R). The gasket between the base and the door skin are also unique - 965.731.247.01(L) and 965.731.248.00 (R).

For a LHD car the part numbers for the mounts are 965.731.241.00 (L) and 965.731.242.01 (R) and the gaskets are 965.731.247.00 (L) and 965.731.248.01 (R)

Regards

Dave
 
..and if you can, ensure that you buy from someone reputable who is selling them for the right reason (both of those ebay links look fine to me) because these mirrors are very easy to steal and flog on ebay [:mad:]
