Is this true that the mirror covers for LHD and RHD are different?
I would like to buy a set of JCW carbon covers but I am looking at a set from the US which of course are LHD.
If this is true, what is the difference?
Thanks

Very interesting. Looking at RealOEM.com, it does list different part numbers for mirror covers depending on LHD or RHD. I suggest you take off both of your mirror covers and look for any difference between the drivers side and passenger side covers (besides being reversed). If there is any difference, that's probably what changes between LHD-RHD.

There is a difference, they're not interchangeable.

Hi Paul
Thanks for your comments, but do you know the difference?
I could understand the actual glass mirror, but the cover I am a little lost to understand where the difference might be.
Thanks again.

The shape is different, the shape of the glass is different and the shape of the "shell" therefore is also different. I have seen them next to each other and they are "odd".
