Picked my car up from the factory on Monday, and I'm glad to say it came with the new mirrors, I think they look good.

Over the course of the following 60hrs, I managed to rack up nearly 2000 miles in it, as well as stopping of at the Nurburgring to thrash the new Nissan GT-R around the track.. report to follow !

Thank god that they changed those mirrors!!!

I'm sorry, but the old ones were just awful...

Looks very tasteful and IMO makes the front end look even a little lower and more aggressive than it really is.

Beautiful car...Enjoy her!

stefario

cdn versions didnt have mirrors like that

syrAMG

That looks great!
little modification but it makes a difference!

I am going to get that color!

Congrats! Those mirros look a lot better

dlbello

Congrats! Do you know (or anyone) if all New cars being built will have the New mirrors? or is it a regional thing? My car is on the ship New York bound... Thanks

YellowJacket

I like that. Are they power mirrors as well?

exiges

When the car was being handed over I asked and the man said "These are the 09 model wing mirrors", that's all the information he gave.

exiges

Yes, power folding mirrors

dlbello

I've seen a recently 09 delevery (last week) it did Not have the "wing mirrors".
I think I heard a build date after August in which it would have these "Mirrors"

EXIGES: Do you know what your start build date was? Thanks

PHYBENZ

Is this european delivery or you live in europe?

I don't think those mirrors will make it to the US '09....

bigbodybeeenz

I don't think we'll get these in the US. My '09 still has the fugly mirrors. Maybe I can upgrade at some point.

dlbello

U.S. Delevery...

exiges

Not precisely no, would it be in the mound of paperwork they give you ?

I do know that I specced the car in late July

dlbello

Possably... When was the car ready for pick-up? and then add about 10-15 days. I think it takes about 10 days for a build.

Looks stunning, that fella doing the handover looks familiar too.

Sounds like you had a great time collecting....2000miles.....


Not jealous about mirrors at all....

Wow!! Looks stunning without the dumbo ears like mirrors!! nice!

It looks like the German Mercedes engineers are actually listening to our feedback!! Now, only if they do something about the interior, and they can bet I’ll be next in line for one!!!!

actually they do, but they will come later.

451/443=EW

yup, if your buid date is late Aug or after it will come with new mirrors.
But give or take a week, you just never know what is happening with supply of old mirror at the factory.

mthis

can i get them from my m.b dealer. and if so will they fit the 08 ?

YellowJacket

I'm just glad they added the Power feature back.
