Charles- See if you can just buy chrome backings for the mirrors from Jonathan and save yourself the work and the cost of new mirrors. I beleive they are about $60 and they look much better than the gray painted ones.

Thanks,

I am looking also for the gray portion of the mirrorrs on my 1989 sec. They broke loose and fell off .Or do I need to replace the whole mirror?

Does anybody know if the gray portion of the side view mirrors on the 560SEC are the same gray as the gray panels that run along the bottom of the car? Does it have any other treatment besides the paint? Also, earlier this week some huge rubber thing flew up to what I thought was the bumper when I was driving 75mph (hey this is CA and I am safe up to 79mph). I thought it only hit the bumper and saw no damage but today at the body shop I saw it took out the grill. The shop also said the chrome surround needed to be replaced. Does anybody have these parts they want to sell? the shop is also looking. Thanks.

I was going to wait until the spring to have the car taken apart and painted, but with the last fender bender 2 weeks ago where somebody backed up into my driver's side fender, there is now enough of the work being covered where the body shop will do it for $1k total. He will be taking most of the car apart for the work (not the interior).
