Getting rid of Auto Folding mirrors

Post by Neil48is » Sun Apr 03, 2011 8:16 pm

Has anybody swapped out the horrendously expensive auto folding mirrors for standard ones. My 4.8is has Auto folds fitted but at least one of them is broken,i would like to keep the auto dimming feature and the puddle light. Is this an easy enough swap ?

The O/S mirror motor casing was damaged (cracked) in the accident and the N/S is very loose.
