Aint heard of Anyone doing this mate on this forum l take it that covers are just clipped on so with courage and some thin leverage tools ie a pair of small flat screwdrivers l would give it go its got be just be just clips start at the outer corner just at the point where it reaches the unpainted join

Thanks will have a go, was just concerned that as they were quoting £72 this may be a technical job,didn't want to risk damadging the carbon mirror backs.

It is possible as my dealership swapped them over when they replaced my noisy mirrors rather than get them painted. I do not understand why RCZ owners have been messed about causing delay in waiting and additional cost to Peugeot to get them painted. Maybe Peugeot Group member could shed some light on this subject?

What do you mean by swapped over? It's the whole housing of the wing mirrors not just the cover.

There is a sequence to do it without damage removing the mirror glass ect glass alone cost £30,To get to the lug's which hold the shell on.but you still could have ago yourself.

The Peugeot Motor Vehicle Technician took the new & old mirrors apart(dismantled them) and swapped the mirror caps over to save the additional expense and time if you were to have to get the painted + lacquered. I would not like to get the bill for Ashphalt ones.

Fitted carbon mirror backs they look awsome but not on white car, would look great on grey or black , have removed and decided to sell !
