I didn&#8217;t disconnect the heated cables into the mirrors. I just let them hang down..probably not a good idea. Popping the new caps in was simple but a guy still helped me who has done this a few times. Then I pushed the mirrors back on and DONE!<\/span><br style=\"font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11px;\" \/><br style=\"font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11px;\" \/><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;\">Aside from the price of the OEM brushed mirror caps, this mod is incredibly simple and you&#8217;ll have a really nice Euro MK7 R look in under 5 minutes.<\/span><br style=\"font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11px;\" \/><br style=\"font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11px;\" \/><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;\"><strong style=\"font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11px;\">Thoughts<\/strong>:????<\/span><br style=\"font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11px;\" \/><br style=\"font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11px;\" \/><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;\">If you have the money, this is a great modification. It looks fantastic. My GF and one other girl both remarked that it looks great. They started with, &#8220;hope you&#8217;re not bothered by this, but to a girl, those look great! very sexy&#8221; I like this more than carbon fiber because these look more like the Promo R we had in Euro-Spec photos.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;
