Not sure if this is the right place, but does anyone want a pair carbon fibre mirror cover (official VW part) . Bought before I had the car and then decided to go down a different route. Still in their box, absolutely brand new and unmarked

There is no correct size as such, just go for something relatively short to avoid any possible interference with anything that may be behind. then just choose the hole size and head size you want, bearing in mind you have to drill it.

The ones I got are need a 9mm hole are 10mm deep and have 20mm heads. I got them from Amazon £2.89 for 20. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01 ... UTF8&psc=1
If you use all the available fixing holes, you will need 18. from what I can see.

3 of the Holes on one set of mudflaps will need to be opened up for the plastic poppers. They are only 5mm as they were meant for the rivets.
But until I get the car and have offered them up to see what is involved Ill hang fire !

I have the official Cupra mudflaps and they look a little different to Betty B's ID3 ones :

Let us know how you get on as I’ve got these to fit but haven’t got round to it yet.

There will of course still be holes to drill.

I wish !
I dont know if I am being thick, but the cable clip is really fixed in and I dont want to pull the wires out of the clip, proving a struggle to unclip.
As far as I can see on the replacement, there is no locking latch so IDK ....

Problem solved, press up with finger, while pulling out with needle nosed pliers :oops:

Does the red/blue light go off after car is locked ?

Mine never went off, for some reason the power stayed live. I ran it to the fusebox in the end.
