Lightbulb Black out side mirrors
Hey guys,
I was looking at my car today and I noticed that the side mirrors are one of the main things that have chrome/white left on it. It is a 08 so I'm having a hard time finding a cover to black it out or is there any other way? I can get some plastic-dip but don't think that's gonna help.
Post if you've done this kinda thing (hopefully a quick/cheap mod).

Thank you

I'm gonna try and just vinyl wrap it and see how that works. Much cheaper

@ickdeep: Which white/chrome part of the side mirror are you preferring to? I saw the protruding side but I am afraid wrapping it will block turn signal light. If it is not blocking turn signal, I would go with vinyl + knifeless tape to wrap it to the shape I want.

@w204_Generic: do you know if those covers will fit auto-folding mirror?

Thanks!

Oh no they will not fit with auto-folding mirrors, unless you perform intensive rewiring but it is rather pricey. They are completely interchangeable with the non-auto folding mirrors.

However, you can buy the Euro Spec 2010+ style mirrors from MBenzNL.nl and will work fine. Once again pricey.

I'm thinking I might just plastic-dip them black like I did to the side markers. I cant find any covers for them and I dont really like all that white area still on the car. Waiting for the weather to improve a little before I can do that. I'm pretty sure the light is still gonna show through it.

If you go on Ebay, there are 'new style' mirror covers that will go right on top of the older ('08) mirror units. I bought these http://www.ebay.com/itm/ARROW-LED-SIDE-MIRROR-COVER-GLOSS-BLACK-FOR-MERCEDES-BENZ-W204-C-CLASS-2007-2009-/261556196587?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3ce5f6d4eb&vxp=mtr in black. The install is a bit of a pain at first but because they're just covers, all function (folding, dimming etc) is completely intact. Also, because you don't have to buy new mirror glass, the price is really reasonable.

I can put up a DIY if helpful.

Hi I'm new to the forum, and am interested in those covers. Do you still have a DIY by any chance?
