whats the going rate for these?
considered the chrome ones, but decided against it.
my car is star silver.
i know theres some irmscher/steiny M3 style ones, but im after something with a similar effect, but a bit cheaper.
any help?

Then buy non-electric M3's they will be cheaper

hmm. might get the DTMs instead.
do these use the factory adjusters? or do you have to manually move the mirror with your hand?
also, are they easy to colour code?

im colour coding mine now at the moment. it's a bit of a pain for a novice sprayer like me- best to take it somewhere proper. but if you got spray skills it'll probably be easy!
I also have the manual ones and was wonderin if you can fit the adjusters? or do you have to shift them yourself by hand

you could probably get away with the colour, but for what its worth, id get them colour coded.
has anyone noticed any quality glitches with these cheaper mirrors? eg: flimsy feeling, etc?
or are they quite sturdy for what they are??

The ones you buy will probably be black plastic colour so you will need to colour-code if you want them to match your car.
