Ciao's New Mirrors: "Like Botox for Ciao Baby!"
Yahoo Message Number: 96988
The new Velvac 2020 mirrors arrives yesterday.  In 2 hours, I had them installed and tools cleaned up!
 She looks SO MUCH better!  We think the new mirrors make Ciao look 10 years younger.  I have to credit Ned with the witty Botox comment- harhar!

The instructions were included and involved taking off the old mirrors (easy), removing 2 pieces of interior door trim (easy), and screwing on the new mirrors (easy).  So you see, if this Psychology major with no mechanical skill can do it, anyone can install new mirrors on an old rig.
 Here are some before and after pics for you in the Photos under Ciao Baby folder:

(Did y'all notice on the Tinyurl site that you can make custom links now?  Very cool!)
 I still need to get the Bondo for the door where the old mirror holes were, but for now I just washed off the spot with my little magic sponge (love those things) and put the screws back in to fill the holes.  A little extra bling that will look better when filled, but fine for now.
 If you missed my previous message on ordering the mirrors ($100 each from Ryder Fleet Products), then you can find the info and more in LINKS > Repairs > Mirrors

Thanks for all the help!  Love you guys! :) Tessa in TX '92 MB - Ciao Baby!

Tessa,

Thanks for the 'Velvac' recommendation. They look great. Getting ready todo Arizona & Utah for a month (May). We will not be doing the Balloon Fiesta till next year. We will be in Australia.
Hope to see you guys sometime.

Glad to hear it!  I'm happy the new mirrors are working well for you.

Have fun in Arizona, Utah, and Australia!  Will you be renting an RV in Australia?  I have a friend who is considering doing an RV exchange there.  Fun!

Please keep us posted!
