I disassembled my door mirrors to replace the cracked indicator lenses with new tinted/smoked lenses. Everything went well with the passenger side, but when it come to the drivers side, it was clear once disassembled that the driver mirror frame had a previous plastic repair. It has been plastic welded in a few places, obviously in the van's past it has sustained a accident. This resulted in the frame falling apart when stripping it down.
So for now, the drivers mirror has the new smoked lense fitted, but is only held in place with two screws. I have purchased a new drivers mirror frame, and black plastic casing for it to remove the chrome covers that were on there hiding the historic damage.

I have also removed all the stuck on chrome trim that was fitted to all the exterior door handles, and strip above the rear license plate. This in part is in preparations for the Armaplate security I will be fitting in the near future which I will be purchasing from a good member on these very forums.
Also being as my van is black, its giving it a nice stealth look too.
Today I will be mock fitting the x 3 solar panels brackets ready to drop in the soar panels once I have completed my width roof bar set up, I have previously already fit my roof rails.
