....A 22yo guy from Aberdeen and a trader. He seems to have stopped posting at the end of September.
No response from his email either I suppose :fighting:
My carbon mirror covers are OSIR. Carbon mirror covers are expensive but a very good looking mod imo.

Good decision! He'll get paid back.

No response to emails for a while now, Jake got his but the three of us never got them. I guess it's the risk of sending money as a gift through paypal :ashamed: Had no issues with many others on here so as with most things it's the minority.
OSIR ones look great but I couldn't justify the cost. What I've bought aren't full wing mirrors, just covers. And for anyone interested they were £79 delivered. Once I've put them on I'll add a photo.
-
Im pretty new on here but have bought and sold a fair few things through the forum.
None of them through paypal but always bank transfer as it avoids fees on both sides and have never had a problem.
The majority on here it seems to me are an honest bunch who are willing to help out a fellow 'dubber'.
But there is always someone who takes advantage and ruins it for the rest of us. OK speech over!!! :grin:
Love the C/F covers by the way but I don't think Id get away with them as I only have a 'GT' ay Robin??......... :signLOL:
-
Sorry to be taking this off topic, but even though you paid as a gift, if you pay using a credit card then I believe you can still claim a chargeback though them.
Cool mirrors too, I have been thinking of getting some for a while for my silver GTi.
-
iirc for most cc purchases you need to spend over £100 to get the protection.
-
It was £109...but I didn't use a credit card. Good advice though if it works :happy2:
-
Here's a link for anyone considering buying these. Theyre a good fit although i wont be putting them on till ive fitted my smoked indicators. :pomppomp: Delivery does take about 4 weeks.

Cheers mate ,didnt realise they would need to be imported , so there will be import taxes ect on top -maybe slightly too much to spend at the moment , monza IIs and the R32 rear are first on the list!
-
Sounds good to me :happy2:
-
has anyone on here tried these out http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-GOLF-5-MK5-JETTA-GTI-Real-Carbon-Mirror-Covers-/270738241081?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3f0941b639 (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-GOLF-5-MK5-JETTA-GTI-Real-Carbon-Mirror-Covers-/270738241081?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3f0941b639) im interested to see how well they fit
-
^^ At that price i imagine that they are carbon wrapped mirrors.
-
The ones I bought were only a bit more so they might be real. They were a good fit too although I no longer have them
-
From the pics in that ebay link they look like real carbon. But obviously cheap versions as from Taiwan.
-
hmm its a tough one, think i shall put my money towards something else lol
-
Those literally look like carbon shells to fit over the existing mirror, rather than a replacement cover.
The only issue with those types are that they don't always fit snugly over the existing cover and end up showing the original piece.
-
They are shells. This forum is expensive, I'm now thinking of getting some proper carbon fibre mirror housings. Does anyone know a good source (other than OSIR). I've seen danishmkvgti has a set he got for around £100.
