Sel imperial Wing mirrors, Grills e.t.c

[Nick]

Wanting a pair of brand new wing mirrors and a grill for a good price.

Seen some on Sel-imperial but am a bit dubious about how well they will fit,and how well the plastic finish will match !

Anyone bought any of these items from Sel ?

[ANDYRACER]

No were all sensible with are money and buy second hand parts

[Jack]

anyone else getting deja vu with this post from nick? lol

[novaexplod]

i thort there panel fittments were pretty gud not sure about colour match tho?

well at ?18 a mirror that's pretty sensible.

[ade]

lol ?18 a mirror!!!

WHY!

There parts are a very good quality but the bits you want are plastic and you can get a grill and mirrors second hand for pennies.

Just stick a wanted in the parts forum!

Sel will sell you the parts and you'll need to get them sprayed anyway (they come factory finish black) - so you may as well save some dosh and get 2nd hand and spray them yerself. Not that hard...

For patern parts theyr v good though...plastic - go 2nd hand.

well my local scrappy sells mirrors for about ?10 a pop, so for 8 quid more a new one is worth buying, plus they've never been back to blacked e.t.c

Thanks ade, that's all i wanted to know which wasn't too hard.

I was inclined to think they'd be a bit off when it comes to plastic mouldings like the mirrors and grill

[ade]

for ?18 I;d expect an entire mirror unit including mountings etc.

Alternatively, if youre bases are okay, you could just get new covers from Vauxhall...They just clip on afterall.

Have a different colour to suit your mood

:D :wink:

[Nick]

you get the entire unit, glass mirror mechanism and internal lever. the only bit you don't get is the inside Cover plate - But obviously i have them allready

I don't think it's a bad price, Seen a few pairs of mirros on Ebay. GM plarts, so might bid on them instead.

nothing ever looks as good as something that's brand new

[Mike.]

this is confusing, which mirrors are you colour coding, your old ones or the new ones, and why would you want to sets of mirrors :?

[Nick]

i want to colour code a set, but i'd rather have brand spanking new ones, or some pretty mint condition ones to colour code.

some of the mk1 mirrors were a different tone of plastic e.t.c and most of them have seen some Back to black in their life so it just makes things harder
