silvio Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 Hi all, hope you can help me out as this is driving me carzyI bought the Y reg Arosa and It had damage to the passenger wing mirror.Only recently noticed that the passenger one is smaller than the drivers one. I am not sure if this is what's classed as a stubby one?So I bought this of ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/300759053494?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649When I spoke to the man on the phone he explained to me that they all used to be small but the people complained so they made the drivers one bigger to improve visibility. ???Anyhow he assured me that this one was the correct one (smaller).So it came today and it the same size as the drivers one!!!So I don't know can someone tell me if they should be bother this same size and if so where can I get my hands on the main mirror unit or where I can get the smaller cover?Can someone help me please?Also where do I get paint maid up in to a spray car? Halfords? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koop Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 (edited) Send it back dude, they do indeed have a larger mirror on the driver's side as standard.There's a few others on the bay...http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/seat-arosa-mirror-cover-grey-primed-1997-2004-left-/180764951770http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SEAT-AROSA-1997-2004-LH-DOOR-WING-MIRROR-COVER-PRIMED-SMALL-COVER-/120993560297...and more if you search for lupo mirror cover..http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-N-S-LEFT-LH-MIRROR-COVER-FOR-VW-POLO-99-02-LUPO-SEAT-IBIZA-3B1-857-537-GRU-/180991004837...etc.And yes Halfrauds can mix paint up, they also do ready mixed rattle cans in a fair range of OEM colours.

lewrssll Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 dont get me wrong, he has sold you the wrong item, that is a normal one thought you were buying. Complain to the guy and open a dispute but on the other hand he doesn't mention on his ad that it is a stubby and I know for a fact that u would not get a stubby for that price.... you pay £30 plus for one.

Koop Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 I know for a fact that u would not get a stubby for that price.... you pay £30 plus for one.It's only the cover, expect to pay around £15.I wouldn't bother raising a dispute unless he doesn't get back to you or refuses to issue a refund. If he's assured you on the phone it was the right one there shouldn't be a problem, regardless of what the listing says. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lewrssll Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 aye koop, i thought it was for the full thing rather than just the cover as you say £15 is going money just now. but you should still open a dispute as its not correct for your car unless the guy refunds you.
