Bongo Fury

Hello all,
Bought my first Bongo yesterday. (Facelifted 1999 V6 model).Very pleased but it has a couple of quirks which I would like to correct:

-driver's side wing mirror has a chrome cover. A little aged but that's fine. No chrome cover on passenger side W/M for some reason. I planned to simply remove the driver's side chrome cover but it seems very effectively glued on and I am concerned that I would damage/mark the underlying black plastic cover. A shiny new cover for the other side off ebay will I think look too new compared to the old. I wondered whether anyone might have a used passenger side chrome w/m cover for sale?

-plastic auto gear selector strip is broken so only reads down to R. (Bottom half has essentially split off and become detached and lost.) Mechanism underneath and plastic surround are fine and of course does not affect the driving at all. Would appreciate help in either sourcing this plastic strip or perhaps I need to buy the whole gear selector assembly? Guidance would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Welcome.

Had to do likewise on mine when i bought it.

No idea of the quality but Van-x do a lot of accessories

Very difficult to remove the older ones but a heat gun is the way to go, as there are lots of sticky pads/ strips fixing it to the mirror. Use a blunt pry tool and take it easy.

Thank you both for your helpful and timely responses. The gear selector strip is on its way to me and I shall endeavour to remove the wing mirror cover as per advice.
Cheers.

I put Van X Chrome wing mirror covers on my van and I rate them very highly, good product and cheaper orderd direct from them.

I recall fitting the gear selector strip baffled me at first over how to remove the gear selector knob in order to gain access. I sussed it, so it cant be that hard, but i recall others struggling. Cant remember details but hopefully someone else on here can or else search old posts.
