Lightbulb Carbon Fiber Mirror Covers -- Has anyone bought these?

http://formymercedes.com/mb_results....irror%20Covers

I'm looking to get these for my 2009 C300 sport. The owner of the store says he doesn't know if they will fit my car despite it saying "will fit 2007-2009." Does anyone know if these will fit? Has anyone gotten these from this site?

I had some Euro custom carbon fiber mirror caps and bases made for my R32. He also did a lot of my enterior for me too. I can put you in contact with him if you like.

How long did that take and how much is it? I wanted to go with this site cause the prices are pretty good compared to OEM mirror covers + turn signal lamps. I would have to wait a few weeks though.

Okay so had an iffy experience with formymercedes.com so I want to know if there's another company that sells CF mirror covers too preferably with the 2010+ arrow LED design?

Also, does the OEM 2010+ mirrors COVERS fit on the 2009 c-classes? If I can't find carbon fiber ones, I might just buy the updated OEM ones. All i need are the covers and led turn lamps. Please help!

If that's your car in your sig then no, the covers won't fit as you have the pre-updated mirrors. You can convert to updated mirror units, I recall seeing threads. Do a search and you should find it including a DIY.

When you say convert to updated mirror units, you mean the whole kit including the part that connects to the door? I was hoping the 2010+ mirrors were the same design or something so I wouldn't have to go through all that trouble...I guess I'll just have to re-order my oem ones again

Well I'm not sure about the base thought I think it should be reusable. You would just need to change out the mirror shell portion and signal lens.

There are sets on ebay that are supposed to convert the 2008-09 to the updated 2010+ style.

I'm going to look into those, thanks. Basically some jerks stole the "white" part/cover/shell and my turn signal lamps in them.They didn't take anything else so i want to reuse them instead of buying the whole 2010 mirror unit. I figured if the oem 2010+ shell fits i would get those just because i know the fitment and quality will be good.

It took a few weeks. Price varies on what you want done. You may want to try other mb forums if you just want oem mirror caps or maybe try LKQ for parts.
