09' w204 side mirrors for >10' ?
Just wondering if there's some way to convert the big side mirrors i have on my 09 c350 to the newer 2010 models and beyond.
Is the only way purchasing the face lifted ones?

Basically, you have 2 options:
1. buy OEM 2010+ mirrors ($$$$$)
2. buy 2010+ style mirror covers (~$150 on eBay). You get the same "look" as the 2010+ but the mirror size will remain "big". This is the option I chose due to cost and I am very pleased with how it came out.

Do you mid posting a picture of your mirror covers?
It seems like a nice addition that I could add.
Side note: Nice mods that you have added/done all over your car.

They're usually more, but I'm just saying it's a nice addition i could add to my car that does not really put a hole in my wallet.
Thanks for you opinion though.

Caligreenzzz, u have made this same comment multiple times and while I agree that OEM looks the best, many people may not have the financial means or motive to do it. If u want to send the $300+ difference to me and the others who have chosen to go this route, by all means I will gladly accept and go OEM.

The only problem I'm having is finding the same color.
I mean it looks like it's the same color as my car.
My car is Iridium silver.
These look like the same color, but they don't say exactly if it's the same shade.

How does this whole thing work though?
I don't really understand how you could make it look like that.
Meaning...how does it make it look forked, when the original is a big piece of plastic with bulbs inside.

It's a completely different piece. You remove the existing "cover" and install the new one. That simple. There are 2 pieces, the upper, painted, piece and the black lower piece that need to be removed and then you will be left with the guts of mirror. Then you just install the new covers.
