Bought the mirrors, loom and switches about 3 years ago but not fitted them as its a doors off job. Then a local Rover 75 owner told me about a group of like minded enthusiasts that help others do repairs and mods on their cars, giving them advice and hands on help to get it done.
This is a Nanomeet near Wolverhampton so I went on their website and asked to attend their next meeting with the intention of fitting the mirrors.

All went very well. I got there soon after 9am and was one of the first to arrive but by 10am another 15 or so had arrived. I soon got started as I wanted to get it done before rain that was forecasted early afternoon.
I leant the knack to remove the door cards …… once 2 screws are removed, the plastic studs pulled out from the bottom and sides of the door card and window switch removed. Carefully loosen the door handle cup with surround – do not try to remove the surround on its own – it must be loosened with the cup. Then grab the main door grab handle and yank upwards firmly …… not outwards. It may take a couple of attempts. Then with pliers remove two plastic caps from the 2 large pins in the centre of the door using pliers to release and replace them on the door card.
There were a couple of cars there with the front bumpers off ….. which is on my job list. After seeing how easy compared to a doors off job I will give it a go.
Overall a great day not only getting my long awaited job done but meeting some really interesting people with such a passion for our marque.
