Default Fitting Sports mirrors

Hi all, I'm really starting to hanker after a set of sports mirrors for my 991.1 GTS, I have the no cost folding mirrors which I never use. Assume I can fit the Sports mirrors and just leave the folding mirror button, knowing it won't do anything ?

May not be that easy..... There is a retrofitting guide for the SD mirrors that you can use to DIY, but you will need all of the parts in this case including change to the wiring harness. Not doing that change might lead to persistent, annoying MF messages -- perhaps a reprogram can eliminate this not sure. Others on RL have changed their mirrors and I am sure can provide direct experience.

Good luck!

Tks, I am researching now, I have been told by my dealer that Porsche say this cannot be done (loom adjustment I suspect ?)

Member smuoio had it done by a dealer, he told me in a PM "dealer had no problem".

check out this thread:

My shop foreman at dealer will be converting mine from power folding to SD and told me it's not a problem as well.
