Anyone here get these? If so, pls post a pic and tell us where you got them. I'm considering adding these to my V12V. Seems like they would compliment the existing carbon as well as the Quantum Silver paint well. Thanks.

 

MA Carbon

 

Have you purchased from these guys? I'm mainly wondering about quality of the weave. Aston offers shells for $1,500 and various aftermarket providers, including MA, offer them for around half the price. Although I like saving money, I don't want to end up with something that looks aftermarket.

 

Tell you what Racer X, get some 3M dinoc film off Ebay in Carbon Fiber for about $ 20 and put it on. The mirror is not that complex a shape and if you have a little patience and a heat gun, you can make it look like the real deal and no one will know the difference. I'd done more complex shapes than a mirror with it. Here's photo of the cheap plastic lid on my KTM 990 Adventure that I covered, just as a data point, and it has some sharp creases on it. At worst, you're out $ 20 or so...

 

You asked if anyone bought some, and that's why I replied with MA Carbon.

 

Dave, Some guy on Pistonheads bought his mirror shells from Robson-Designs and was pleased with the quality of their products. Their prices are very low. The only problem was the high cost of shipping from China. Maybe we need to do a group buy to share the costs. Here a link to their post on 6-Speed:

ill be happy to join, not sure which items improve looks without being too flashy

 

Racer X doesn't do fake carbon fiber!

Okay, so should I also assume from your cryptic response that you think the weave is good quality?

Sounds like a good idea KF. I'd be up for that too.

 

I would get the OEM version so that the weave matches. I have the carbon strakes and just added the carbon exterior door pulls. I liked that look over getting the mirror caps. I also added the carbon ski slope which is a big improvement over the piano black

Astonbits sells the OEM caps but at current exchange rate I think it's right at the $1500 you indicated. Also added glass buttons and black grill. Happy with results but don't get the car til Monday...was hoping for today

 

MA Carbon weave matches OEM weave...can't tell the difference side by side.

 

^^Okay, thanks.

 

lmao ... That was funny! Nice use of the 3rd person narrative lol !

 

^^^^ "George is getting upset!" Yelled in your best Costanza voice.

Depending on your model year, Volvo mirror caps are used on the AM Vantage. For my V8V MY 2008 I ordered the following ones:

Its full carbon, quality is flawless, though I do not have them mounted yet, thus I cannot say anything about the fitting accuracy.
