just won 2 electric mirrors on ebay .the fella says it will cost him roughly 7.5 quid for him to post them to me .he says he has been looking on royalmail prices.now i checked it too and it says 6kgs goes for 7.86quid ? and 4kgs for 7.20 .how much does an electric mirror weigh for gods sake ? 4kgs for 2 mirrors ??? that sounds crap to me

i did not realise they would weigh that much see .i took mine out once it only feels like a kilo or so.well it must be right if you are saying so. i paid for them anyway .i needed the one for my drivers side the passenger one will be spare as i am not sure what condition my existing one is in.

no thats simons ph1 megane cabby. Also 2l 16V import, never came with a strut brace either. he has one of mine on it, bugger still ain't paid me for it!

Its improved his quite a bit, not so much scuttle shake but it hopped about less on bumpy roads and it was much tighter in roundabouts.

tenner sound ok?

On Si's he had aircon so there was a bolt already on the drivers side but nothing on the passenger side. I will dig out a bolt for you if ye want as well if you don't have one.

Tomorrows fine matey. I'll pm you to let you know where I live.
