:rolleyes: I HAVE TWO ISSUES! WHO CAN HELP ME GUYS!
OK SO 1.... im in a car park today, come back to my car to see some one has kindly knocked my chrome cap off of my car, its fell to the ground and cracked! EXCELLENT! so .... i have been looking on EBAY for some new ones, and they seem relatively cheap! but... some say they are covers that go over existing caps, and some dont mention it at all!! so im really confused, what do i do!!!

2. My drivers door doesnt fancy unlocking itself when i push the fob, it will lock but doesnt like to open for me! some one has said this is the door actuator??? what is this please and can i do it? or how expensive r we talking!

some mini lover out there please help me reinstill a bit of faith for my mini back to me!!!!

love a very distressed mini owner ... :(:(:(

The genuine door mirror caps are not just covers and are more expensive from a MINI Dealer but fit the best. The cheaper covers on ebay stick on over the top of the original Mirror covers and don't fit so well.

If you search on here several posts cover fitting a door actuator:
