   obviously furio mirrors are just black, with no caps, what would i do to get caps that fit my car, as the mirrors dont have slots, would i have to make slots in the original mirrors, or just glue them down ?

   Much easier just to buy the caps and glue them on mate, as said above snap the clips on the back and stick them on, I just super glued mine on and they haven't budged and I've had them on about 6-8 months.

   My furio came with caps.
   When I had my 1.1 forte I got my standard mirrors and drilled out the inserts for the caps
   Look at this #17 http://www.saxperience.com/forum/sho...ght=cheap+mods
   
   But yeah was rather bit of hassel getting the correct place, I would say glue them if your up for an easy job but drill if you want them to stay on, if none just get both mirrors.
   Cutting out the inserts for them = long but good job/ caps stay on
   Glueing them = easy, quick job/ caps possibly come off after a while
   Up to you

    Two options...
    
    Get VT mirrors and put them on ya car
    Or
    Find some caps, cut off the clips and bond them to your own mirrors.

    are you talking about the gap that may appear just under the headlight trim? meaning the bumper is slightly dipping?

    Well I undone 2 bolts on the bumper under the car, pushed the bumper up towards the headlight while tightening them up, it made the gap go away. Where the 2 bolts are there is a little bit of room for the bumper to move back or forward. Very easy to do and you will see the 2 bolts under the car on the bumper if you look hope thats kind of helped

    Yeah in the middle of the bumper, literally pop your head under the front bumper and you will see them.

    they will be there, un-tighten them, push the bumper forward towards the light, tighten them up really tight and them should be gone, thats how I solved mine anyway
