Powerfold bullets
Hello folks
I have a facelift with powerfold mirrors. My question is if i were to purchase bullet chrome powerfolds to replace are they simply plug and play? Or are the looms/connectors different? If this is simple case of switching does anybody have a pair for sale? Regards Lee

Plug and play -assuming you currently have powerfolds. If not you need to have the orange loom running across the dash which feeds the powerfolds.

The looms are the same, but the skullcap is a far superior mirror in terms of being useful at looking behind you.

I like people who are unafraid to speak their mind too. There is far too much not wanting to offend anyone or anything these days I'll find some pics and decide. Thanks for the help folks!

I prefer the shape of the bullet mirror, skull caps look like shreks ears 🤣

Aside from looks the other benefit with bullets is you can see the whole of the passenger mirror glass from the drivers seat unlike skulls
