  5. Ive bought a second hand pair off ebay since steve
    However one of the bolt cover clips is broken so if i could take the little cover off your hands that would be great?

    It's fine, but don't know the size. I have a bolt and I'll see if my bolt shop has another, I pass it every day.

    I can imagine her conversation at work in future years...

    "I used to think VW campers weren't meant to go anywhere, just have new bits on them and get towed from place to place. Couldn't see the point in them myself!"
     
  13. Sounds about right apart from the fact she has more enthusiasm for them than i do

    God knows what sort of rot box she is going to bring home for dad to fix upo_O

  18. Thats a hard thing to do as it changes every time she looks up from her i phone
    At least my youngest still wants my attention for now:)
    By the time she thinks im old and boring the paravan will be finished and i can go up the moors/dales to wild camp and be grumpy all on my own:lol:


    Only joking i love all my girls and will always adapt to keep them happy:thumbsup:

  20. Ive bought a second hand set of brazilian spec mirrors for the paravan and they arrived today:)
    I should be able to see loads more behind me with these and i think they will suit the look better
    Cheers for the heads up @davidoft :thumbsup:

    Once some mounting bolts have been sorted ill have my genuine vw stainless steel mirrors for sale
