My name is Daniel, i am 23 years old and from Stuttgart (home of Mercedes Benz ;-) )

Iīm a proud owner of an obsidian black C-class for a while now and was never be
happy with the look of my "old school" mirrors. After a few phonecalls with MB,
i ended up to be contend with my mirrors, since i didnīt want to pay over 2.000 bucks
for simply the look of the "new style" mirrors. I let it rest for a few weeks but
started again to make some phonecalls, but this time with a couple of Friends which
are working in the auto industry. A few days later i took delivery of my new mirrors.
The mirrors arenīt new and got slight signs of usage. But infact that my car isnīt
new either, i really donīt mind.

The best thing about it is that i only paid 629€ shipped to my door (799$!!!). After
i sold my old mirrors itīs quite less :-)

As i was told that the assemply of the mirrors is a plug nīplay job, i tryed it on my
own and it was really that easy. But enough talking letīs get it on.

"old style" mirror on my car



at first you have to remove the speakercover to get to the three torx screws, the mirror
is screwed on with



just lift it up with your fingers from the outside of your car (you have to roll down the windows)



simply remove it by pushing it forward (towards your hood)



now you can got access to the three torx screws



after that remove the cover of the electronic box in your side door
again lift it up with your fingers...



...an pull it off



after that you got access to the plugs of the side mirror



now just remove the holding screw...



...and unplug the side mirror wires (make sure the electronic of your car is
completly switched off for the entire assembly)



you can simply pull the old side mirror out of itīs mounting



take the new mirror and remove all sort of foam



you need to leave the assembly-foam of your old mirrors in the spot right on the picture
and just need to get the new mirrors screwed on the same way u unscrewed the old one



now plug in all wires again...



...and remount the electronic and speaker cover



hereīs the result for the first side



final picture after 30 mins of enjoyable labor




After i was done with the installation, i turned the car on and tested the new mirrors.
Everything worked well without problems. Itīs a simple Plug nīPlay job like i was told. Now i
really really really love my car, since i never liked the old style mirrors :-)

If anyone of you is interested in a pair of "new style" mirrors like mine, feel free to pm me.
I can also ask for the "euro spec new style folding mirror" if anyone is interested.
Maybe we can get a groupbuy at an even better price.

best regards from Stuttgart,
Daniel
