Beetle Round Hinge Pin Mirror - Left

Introducing the Beetle Round Rear View Mirror, designed to attach to the upper door hinge pin on the left-hand side of your classic VW Beetle. This mirror is a perfect reproduction of the vintage style, offering an elegant and functional upgrade for your Beetle’s exterior. It mounts directly onto the upper door hinge using a hinge pin with a thread on the top, which can be purchased separately if needed under part number 111831421A.

Key Features:

• Designed for Left-Hand Drive Beetles: This rear view mirror is specifically designed for LHD Beetles, offering optimal visibility when mounted on the left-hand side.
• Upper Door Hinge Pin Mounting: The mirror attaches to the upper door hinge pin, giving it a secure and authentic mount position.
• “Sunny Climate Chrome” Finish: This reproduction mirror features a single plate chrome finish, often referred to as “Sunny Climate Chrome”. While it adds a beautiful shine, it`s essential to note that this finish is not suited for wet or harsh climates like the UK without regular maintenance.

Applications:

• VW Beetle (Left-Hand Drive): This mirror is specifically designed for LHD Beetles. It can be fitted on RHD Beetles, but visibility from the driver’s seat is limited due to the arm’s length, making it less ideal for right-hand drive models.

Quality:

• Reproduction “Sunny Climate Chrome”: The mirror features a reproduction chrome finish, known as Sunny Climate Chrome, which looks great but may not hold up as well in humid or wet climates without regular care. To maintain the shine, regular cleaning and waxing is recommended.

Warranty:

• No Warranty on Chrome Finish: Due to the nature of the single plate chrome used on this reproduction part, there is no warranty offered on the chrome finish, as it is not designed for the UK market. In humid or rainy conditions, the chrome may rust or oxidise within months. However, with frequent cleaning and waxing, you can extend the life of the chrome and keep it looking shiny for longer.

Quantity:

• Sold Individually: The mirror is sold individually for the left-hand side.

Why Choose This Beetle Round Rear View Mirror?

1. Vintage Look: This mirror provides the perfect vintage touch, replicating the classic round design that was popular on older Beetle models.

2. Easy Installation: Designed to mount directly onto the upper door hinge pin, this mirror is easy to install. If your hinge pin does not have a thread, you can purchase the correct threaded pin separately (part number 111831421A).

3. Affordable Reproduction: This mirror offers a cost-effective solution for Beetle owners who want to maintain an authentic look on their vehicle while enjoying the benefits of a modern reproduction part.

4. Care for Longevity: While the Sunny Climate Chrome finish isn’t ideal for wet climates, with proper care (regular waxing and cleaning), the mirror can last longer and maintain its shine, making it a great option for those who take pride in keeping their classic cars in top condition.

Why Regular Care is Important for “Sunny Climate Chrome”:

The single-plate chrome finish on this mirror is not designed for the wet, humid conditions often found in the UK and similar climates. This means that, without proper care, the chrome can tarnish, rust, or oxidise within months. However, by regularly waxing and cleaning the mirror, you can prevent oxidation and rust, extending the life of the mirror and keeping it shiny for longer.

Key Specifications:

• Fitment: Designed for LHD VW Beetles but can be fitted on RHD Beetles with limited visibility.
• Mounting: Attaches to the upper door hinge pin with a threaded hinge pin (sold separately if needed).
• Material: “Sunny Climate Chrome” reproduction with a single-plate chrome finish.

Benefits of Installing a New Rear View Mirror:

• Improves Visibility: Replacing a worn or damaged mirror ensures better visibility and safer driving.
• Enhances Classic Aesthetics: The round design and chrome finish offer a vintage look that complements the classic design of your Beetle.
• Easy to Install: This mirror is easy to install on the upper door hinge, making it a simple yet effective upgrade.

Installation Tip:

To install this mirror, simply attach it to the upper door hinge pin. If your existing pin does not have a thread, you can purchase the correct threaded pin separately (part number 111831421A). For RHD Beetles, while installation is possible, the mirror’s arm length may restrict visibility from the driver’s seat.
