987 Mirrors on a 986 Boxster...anyone done this mod?

[Porsche Pete]

Sourced a pair of inexpensive 987 mirrors... Fancied mounting these on my Boxster
they look far better imo

Has anyone done this mod...The mounting plates look very similar

you have two options Pete.
1. buy the mirrors for the very good price and let us know how it workes.
2. let me buy the mirror for the very good price, and i will let you know how it works.

ill be happy either way

Although the mounting plates look similar, they are not. So unless the 987 mounting plate can be used to mount directly to the car, not sure how this would be done. So I would suggest trying to see if the 987 mounting plate will mount to the 986 car.

No, that was a conversion kit. He's asking about direct mounting the entire 987 mirror to a 986, not using the kit like drbodzin did.

Ok, so have bought the mirrors...they are even in my car colour of Artic Silver..

Should be here in a couple of day..will let you know how i get on.
Yes read the thread on the aftermarket ones....so will see how this compares

If not its Ebay.....or sell to a 987 owner Watch this space !!
