Panel beaters can do it, you can do it yourself, as it's fairly straight forward.

Remove the plastic on the inside of the door where the mirror is located, unplug the harness that controls the mirror and move remove the screws retaining it (whilst holding the other side as it can fall on the floor otherwise, lol) other wise if you're not too keen just head to a panel beaters and they'll do and prob charge you $10...

Don't forget his aftermarket mirrors might not use the same harness...

but apart from that it's as straight forward as that.


edit: if it doesn't use the same harness then you'll need to cut the wires and hook up your original wires with the new harness

are u able to scan or put up a model number, if they're direct aftermarket replacements, they should simply slot straight in. No need for any holes unless they are like some kind of F1 style mirror which I used to see in the states

i read the instructions and it doesnt say anything bout drilling (it said that on the websiite when i got them - that i may have to ) i got them from ebay last year for my gli but didnt put em on cos m car got hail damaged. they should still fit.
The kit just comes with the mirrors and wires attached and the black triangles.. it just has screws to hold them to the car.. do you want me to take a pic of em or something?

if it's for a 3dr not the sedan they will fit the 2dr coupe just fine

send a pic if you want, I have a pretty good idea which ones they are and they will just slide straight in
