Devinatech - any good?
Discussion
Hi
Just stumbled across Devinatech, specifically their carbon mirror caps which appear very “cheap” compared to market price. Wondered anyone’s experience with company/products/quality etc?

I just bought a pair of secondhand Davina Tech carbon mirror caps. Quality seems very good and the finish is excellent. That said, the two locating tabs were slightly mis-positioned on one of the caps, so the previous owner removed them - apparently it doesn’t affect the fitting. Original price in April this year was just under £380 (which is quite a bit less than others I’ve seen for sale)
It was only after I bought them that I found they don’t fit my 2007 car - apparently the mirrors were changed from 2011 onwards. I’m a bit miffed, as I was rather looking forward to having them on the car.

I wrote the below back in 2020.
"I have fitted carbon fibre mirror caps, side strakes and an N420 rear diffuser to my car, all sourced from DivinaTech in the UK. They were easy to deal with and the prices on point, and the products looked terrific on the car and achieved the appearance I was hoping for.
Unfortunately, the composite mirror caps, which never fitted as snuggly as the original caps but were acceptable, would pop out of seat after a few months, leaving a unsightly kit-car gap, and it got to the point where they would not go back in place. I wrote to DivinaTech and they sent me replacements, but sadly they ended up doing the same thing. I decided that the composite approach just made the caps too fat to fit properly, and asked DivinaTech if I could return them and upgrade to the full carbon versions, which was no problem and I paid the difference and the new caps duly arrived. They certainly looked the part, but I had trouble lining them up and on closer inspection found the lugs were not lined up as per the originals, and in order to make one lug fit, the other had to snap off. Sadly once this occurred, and bonding material was applied, they still did not fit into the mirror frame. I tried and tried again but to no avail, and recently they too were returned for a refund, the process of which was no problem, but very disappointing.
Six months ago I also noted that the lacquer on the diffuser and one of the side strakes appears to have bubbled/chipped away in a couple of places. They are now about three years old, and I am guessing this is not typical. While it`s not a major issue to address and I will have it attended to later this month when I have the bonnet re-sprayed, it`s not really what you want after two and a half years."
I do not know if my experience was unique, but I have since sourced ECPS Group carbon mirror caps and they look and fit great.
