Where to buy the correct NEWER style Mirror Covers for SL55?
I already bought two sets of the newer-style mirror covers from ebay, one set from Taiwan seller and the other one from US seller.
But both of them shipped the wrong mirrors! They won't fit. The openings/mount points are different. And I already painted one set also :( This is the ones I bought from the US-based seller (it says they fit 2004 SL55 but NOT): http://www.ebay.com/itm/110951494217...S:3160&vxp=mtr My mechanic took these pics for comparison, left one is my current OEM mirror: http://mpresiv.net/auto/sl55/SL55_vs...Mirrors_01.JPG http://mpresiv.net/auto/sl55/SL55_vs...Mirrors_02.JPG http://mpresiv.net/auto/sl55/SL55_vs...Mirrors_03.JPG |
I think DCT sells them in CF.
|
ebay has them in carbon fiber also
i bought the newer style cf mirrors on ebay, being installed this week.....look good to me, i just hope they fit properly ....

RR - What year is your sl55? i did a quick search and found these:
SL class 06-09: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mercedes-R17...ad4241&vxp=mtr SL Class 02-05: http://www.ebay.com/itm/02-05-Merced...759cd9&vxp=mtr http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mercedes-R23...f9c17d&vxp=mtr |

me too....
my mechanic shop owner called me this evening and said the carbon fiber updated side mirrors i bought on ebay do not fit.....im very upset because i wanted this on my sl 55......this sucks....and when i originally emailed them on ebay i was told they would definitely fit....
|
This is the reason i have not tried to update the mirrors. Someone else ordered some in a different thread and said they wouldn't fit his car either.
Definitely let us know which ones you find that actually do fit properly. Good luck. Aaron |

....
My mechanic is gonna try one more time today to put them on....if they can't do it by tomorrow, I'm just gonna tell them to hold on to them till a later time when we can figure something else out.......there has to be a way to get them on there some how......they are beautiful....raw carbon fiber updated LED side mirrors....they would greatly enhance the look of our cars too....what a total buzzkill.......
http://i.ebayimg.com/t/Mercedes-R230...gDQ~~60_58.JPG the above link goes to a picture on ebay of basically the mirrors I bought.....what a shame.... |

DCT has it for every year :)
https://mbworld.org/forums/4579496-post13.html there is one that fits - just need to locate the correct one. remember its made in taiwan so fitment is never perfect. |
so i have a 04 sl55 and i purchased the 02-05 cf mirrors from gaugetuner on ebay. They DO NOT FIT, he told me to ship them back so I did yesterday at a cost of $60, he says I need the 06-08 cf mirrors so once he receives the incorrect ones i shipped back to him he will send the ones that are supposed to fit and I will let you all know if they work out. If the new ones dont work out I give up because I sent pics of my mirrors completely taken apart, so we shall see
|
me too....
i bought mine from gaugetuner also....he told me they would definitely fit my 2005 SL 55 .....but they dont.....so unless my mechanic shop can force them to work anyway tomorrow, then im giving up on them for now also.

I bought one set from Gaugetuner also, which is the mirrors set that I already painted in my first post.
Here's the box, it says it's for 02-05 R230 which doesn't fit. http://mpresiv.net/auto/sl55/SL55_Wrong_Mirrors_01.jpg |

prior design has similar mirror covers. if anyone can get a hold of them and find out.
