Dom The rubber window finishing trim pieces were available from the club not so long ago, and a lot cheaper than that. Also the cheap chinese copies of the engelmanns again, all i can say there is you get what you pay for, as myself who deals in GENUINE ENGELMANNS AND PARTS have heard all the horror stories about the cheap copies, and get asked for replacement parts for the cheap tat all the time to which i have nothing to do with, you might be lucky and get a good set but i doubt it, good luck with them.

mickappy Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 (edited) might be worth pop but probably shit quality. Edited January 5, 2012 by mickappy Quote
garymanc Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 nothing wrong with the cheap copies as i have a set off englemann mirrors, yes you can tell there made with cheaper quality stuff like all copies off bigger brands but dont fall to pieces and at the end off the day there only door mirrors Quote
Dubmaster77 Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 Ill let you know I just oredered a set!! If they are crap I have only lost £30 odd quid....... They are only door mirrors! Quote
e966kfl Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 I reckon Englemans are way over priced for what they actually are this seems to be compounded by the fact that certain people buy them up at a reasonable price only to bump up the price and sell them on to fellow clubs members at a profit !! foul play if you ask me after all isnt being a member of the club suppose to help locate these rare parts not get ripped off by some 'make a quick buck middle man' ??? Dubmaster77 let us know how you get on with these pattern part mirrors as im keen to find a cheaper way of having englemans too 2 Quote
Scott Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 I can get these for £20 + postage if anyone is interested. They are lighter/thinner than the originals but for the price they look the part. The only thing I would add is that the mirrors should be siliconed or glued in to the housing once fitted to stop vibration a speed. Quote

Scott your a legend and a gent !! that price is better than the ebay price - are they the same ones as listed on ebay ? Quote
Scott Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 I think they are mate. They are badged as ' victory' if that helps. As soon as I get onto a pc I will post a couple of pics of them. Oh and I've been called many a name but .....legend and gent lol. :-) Quote
