Ahh - did you get the cutting bits also? I thought I had a few of these but can't put my hand to them. I will be putting together the order this weekend and wondered if they would be any use. In the past I have used an old steel rule double sided taped to the cutting line to keep me true.
Also, was the Dremel battery or mains powered? I have both but the mains one is buried somewhere (probably with the bits) and I cant be arsed digging if I don't need to!

The more I see these wheels, the more I think they'd look great with the Cerium grey accents on my car...

Bad news and good news

The wing mirror cover laquer seems to be failing,

the good news is Auto ID have authorised replacements without hesitation,

bad news, I have to put the oem covers back on whilst i return them and then put the new ones back on later, so thats another 4 attempts to break my mirror glass

and then i have to get them ppf'd again.

I have bought a couple sets of mirror caps, all have gone back none have fit quite right. How were the auto id fitment wise? I can't wrap my head around 2k plus for the oems.

Why not have them Charge you for a 2nd set of covers, as a deposit, while you swap them once with new ones and then send back the defective set and then refund you when they receive them?
