Wing mirror stalks
« on: August 02, 2026, 11:53:25 AM »
What's the most cost effective way of sorting these out, new unit or remove and respray?... Also the indentation in trim any ideas where i can get some 1.4 stickers to fit... Think that's what was in there originally 🤔 ?
Thanks

The white parts aren't actually metal .... some sort of plastic or composite, I would think, so it makes the primer choice a bit difficult, as even Honda didn't find a primer that would last the ravages of time.
I would say that you would need to remove the wing mirrors and disassemble them if you want to paint them or wrap them.
Probably wrapping might be the better long term option, but I've no idea whether you can get "colour code matched" wrap.

New unit probably doesn't worth it.  Because after you bought it, you'll still have to prime it, paint it then protect it with lacquer.

If you want to do a perfect job.  It will be removed the mirror from the car,  remove the peeling paint (or at least use body putty then sand), respray.

Mirror removal process is fairly easy.  Window all the way down, remove the door's inner plastic panel, detach the window control connector.  With the panel out of the way, disconnect the electrical connector for the mirror, then unscrew 3 x 10mm nut that holds the mirror to the door.

I agree with CRC, why not try vinyl wrapping. You could go for something  offbeat such as carbon fibre effect.     May work better, and be cheaper than trying to find paint and primer thats compatible with  plastic.

here is an example  https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/191032898042?
