Glad to know that im not the only one who its happened to then. Youd think they'd put summat on the boxes though saying you need to rust-proof the metal inside? | |

quote: Who was complaining about problems with the paint? :boggle: I was pissed off at the fact that the metal had rusted more than anything else. Anyways werent having a dig at Supernovas, just pissed off that the plates inside the mirrors rusted, and thought id let others know that if there installing some aftermarket mirros, it may be wise to paint the metal plates inside them. Oh, and they werent FK mirrors. Identical, but the box didnt say FK on it. Rob :) | |

quote: yes but thats like saying buy a BMW rather than a Corsa isnt it. £140 a side, or £40 a set. Besides, Im not particularly struck on M3's They fit on the car fine now, because ive sanded a few mm of the plastic on the bottom. Was just warning people, who might have took it for granted that the metal inside was galvanised, and it isnt. :wave: | |

Get some PROPER aftermarket mirrors like STEINMETZ ones which fit properly m8 and are of a decent quality. | |

Decided the otherweek id take my DTM's off and respray them, due to my first attempt not being too clever. Anyway, took them off, and removed the glass from them, and wasnt too impressed at what i saw. |
