Cracked Door Mirror Housing - Considering Carbon Fiber Mirror Covers


Guest

Recommended Posts

While driving down a narrow lane a white van driver (!) clipped my side mirror. Suffice to say it now has a deep crack down the plastic housing.

Rather than buy a new housing one (which is clearly very costly), I am considering purchasing a pair of Carbon Fibre Mirror covers which slot right over the mirror housing.

I guess I am looking for feedback on whether this is a good idea. Yes I am masking the underlying problem, but I have super glued the crack, and am simply looking for a decent cosmetic fix.

Suggestions appreciated.

Regards

Shuaib

Why not. In general super glue is not your best bet. Epoxy of some sort (5min) with a a well scuff up (50 grit) backing piece of plastic will serve you far better (scuff up the mating surface of your broken part to).

BTW nice wheels...size? brand?
