Hi,

Just looking to buy my first V8V, and need power fold mirrors ( tight garage). If I find a car without them, how much would it cost to have power folds retro fitted?
Cheers.

this is going to sound like a dumb reply so I apologise in advance,

I have a very tight garage for my V8V too and wanted power fold mirrors, the one I got didn't have them however I have less than 1" either side on the way into the garage with the mirrors out and it really helps guide her in straight, even with the mirrors in you dont actually save much space because of the arches.

If you want accurate measurements let me know and I'll happily take to the garage with a tape measure :-)

Put a wide mirror on the end wall of the garage...

I don't believe powerfold is an option to be added afterwards. Even if it can be done, I would expect it to be more expensive than simply searching out a car with it in the first place.

According to an Aston Martin service bulletin, it looks like about 3 hours labor in addition to the cost for the two mirrors and a config file update.

I had them retrofitted onto mine

Suggest you drop Rick and DMS a note who will quote you on them.
