) but still not very clear what’s involved
, like do you have to change complete mirrors or just some parts and what’s cost in the end.

Any chance to make another topic with step by step how to install just folding mirrors? I kind of read all of the 530+ replies (few times) but still not very clear what’s involved, like do you have to change complete mirrors or just some parts and what’s cost in the end.
) but still not very clear what’s involved, like do you have to change complete mirrors or just some parts and what’s cost in the end.But to answer your questions, Yes you have to change out the mirrors to the folding mirrors. You also need a new headlight switch, which has the button for the mirrors. if you have the facelifted w203, and you have the dimmable driver side mirror then your driver side door control module is good on that side, but if you don't have the power memory seats (the one with the seat controls on the door) then you need to switch out the passenger side door control module. My end costs for the parts was about $550 + trade of my mirrors.
You can find the folding mirrors on ebay though.
Thanks!

Sat. went over to Status and rolled the front fenders, they are totally flat now. Gotta either space them out more now or put a bigger lip on the wheels...
Installed this thing last night:
Haven't had a chance to test it out, but even if there are any differences i probably wouldnt be able to tell...

My cold air looks alot like that, just longer (and there's 2). I noticed minimal gaines when I put it on, but oh, the sound it makes! I don't know if it will be very noticeable with your exhaust, but hopefully. I have to say, though, that there was a noticeable difference when I took it off for a couple days.

Im sure i can write something up, but i dont know if i took enough pics for it to be really helpful. Let me see what i can do.

Hey I didn't get a chance to reply to your post. But yeah, it's just a little bit tedious, but with a little bit of patience it'll work. It's not as hard as I thought... maybe the hardest part was taking the lens apart. Yup, that's it.
