Colour coded side mirrors

[Lucas_125]

Hey guys,
Does anyone know where in Adelaide I can get some colour coded side mirrors (Valencia Red F133) I've got stock black ones and they're both cracked, I've been to commodore spares and been on the auto wreckers hotline's but have found nothing.
Thanks

Wreckers, eBay, if you see someone wrecking a VT the same colour then ask how much they want for them.

Otherwise just buy new ones (aftermarket from a wreckers or genuine from Holden) and just get them painted the same colour as your car.

good ideas thanks, although since they're really rare I'll probably just have to end up buying stock ones and getting them painted

Yeah true. Well if a customer comes in and needs a new mirror, we order a brand new one from the wreckers, its aftermarket but is still good quality. Only problem is that they are all black. So usually the customer takes it to a panel shop to get it painted, but some don't even worry about it haha.

lol any idea how much they cost to get painted?

I have no idea but i'm guessing it wouldn't cost too much. Just call up a couple of places and get quotes.

cool cheers dude

No problem. I have never had to get any done myself, that's why I don't know how much they would cost to paint.

Also if you pay cash, they may do it cheaper.

Would be interested to know how much it costs you.

I painted mine myself, but it is not a very good job, so was thinking of getting them re-done (low priority - they are not that bad!).

when I get them done I'll let you know how much I paid for them
