Lookin tight dude! Very impressive.
I'm in a similar place as you right now, well, maybe about a mile or two behind but I've only had her for about 4 weeks or so?
Anyway, I really love what you did with the interior trim - can I ask - what kind of material is that?
I saw some stuff on eBay that looks like carbon fibre and it looks like it would really fit the black interior.
It doesn't seem too difficult to do either - just remove the panels, cover em with the new material, and pop em back in - right?
Rock on dude

chkoo, Kleemann is going to make you bend over. I would hop on the group buy that powerchip has. 350 plus shipping (might be expensive from Vancouver but still cheaper than Kleemann) is a great deal.

If you plan to do your interior trims, I suggest you do it with a carbon fiber fabric+spray adhesive since its much easier to wrap the trims. It took me 8 hours to do my trims since I made sure the trims will fit properly again because of the added material.
Another tricky problem is the passenger airbag warning. If you will look closely on the "hazard light" picture. There is a small rectangular indentation...that was his passenger airbag warning that was covered. he covered it because the added material from the fabric didnt allow it to be inserted back in again.

Carbon fiber fabric. comes in two types now. One is an actual fabric material with no adhesive backing and one has like a fabric texture but comes with adhesive backing.

I found these varieties on eBay - which one would you suggest most?
I can deal with having to cover the passenger Airbag warning if I have to.

the stuff i used is actaully 3m dinoc vinyl. i got a huge roll from www.pyspeed.com and wrapped a few of my freinds cars. here is an example of a w204 i did.
the stuff is really easy to install provided you have a heat gun.

That sucks, is it only the glass?
Easy fix. Just bend the mirror inward and there is a clip. Press that clip and slide the mirror cover off. Then from there you can take off the glass.
Not a huge shell shocker. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/01-07...Q5fAccessories
Did you brake the blinker? I have an extra blinker if you need it. I'll send it to you for free. I broke mine too and salvaged parts and the facelift mirror blinker is clear not frosty so I left my broken one on.
Let me know.

Rmeuropean has it for 89 bucks but it might get there quicker than the ebay one.

Ebay one says it's from Latvia and 14-23 days shipping
Scratch that, since you have a partial mirror I would just save money and order it from ebay.
