Aluminium cap for drivers side wing mirror

Post by Jimkey83 »

Hi,

I've had a unknown car clip my folded in wing mirror smashing the glass and indicator light on my Viper Green R, aftermarket for these is £300 all in but I have aluminium wing mirror caps and this is £262 just for one, anyone know where I can another, other from the main dealer?
Another problem separate is my headlight washers don't seem to work, is it likely just a fuse, they've never worked in the 3 years I've owned the car.
Thanks

Do they have to be alumaliulium?
For 18 bob on temu.com you get a set of boring black, or pony up 21 for carbon pattern.

Yes have to agree with finetrond on this one.
Maybe replace the pair for carbon or something else that you’d like rather than spend that sort of money.
As for the headlight washers I’d say more likely to be the pump, but it’s worth checking the fuses first. Next check power to the pump to see if you are getting voltage.
