Re: OEM Carbon mirror housings

Re: OEM Carbon mirror housings
Mr.Monk, follow the Bently manual carefully and you should have no problems. I have been studying the mirror section as I want cf bases/pods soon,too.

Re: OEM Carbon mirror housings
Then maybe I'll try a cf wrap for a while. I just saved Kfabs' mirror mods to my R8 CRASH folder.
