Hi guys,

Do you know if electric folding mirrors is an option that can be retrofitted at a reasonable cost?

Kufatec offer it, although looks like they haven’t actually fitted one on either 991 or 992 🙄 Usually any kind of physical retrofit is prohibitively expensive.

That is expensive! Shame I've found a car with everything else just right but missing this option. I need the electric folding mirrors to get the car in the garage! Oh well the hunt continues ...

Lol ... not an option as need the mirrors out when reversing for guidance as it's tight then fold electrically when mirrors are approaching the doors.

On a (slightly) more serious note, my 992 is noticeably narrower than my old GTS - you may find you’re OK with mirrors out......(just a thought)

...and the 992 is wider than the 991...

Judging by that worn concrete, have you been using Launch Control when exiting? :lol:
