I installed my next mod today. Just took me a little over 3 hours. I started with the passenger side first:

I removed the interior triangular trim cover first. There are two tabs on the bottom. Pry it out and up.

The mirror connector will be visible and needs to be disconnected. YOU NEED TO READJUST THE MIRROR TO GO TOWARDS THE CAR AS FAR AS IT'LL GO BEFORE YOU DISCONNECT THE ELECTRICALS. There are 3 torx screws that holds the mirror housing in place.







Remove the mirrors by inserting your fingers and carefully prying it off. It is secured by snaps. It's very sturdy and should not break.





Disconnect the wires to the mirror





The next thing to remove is the motor. In my 2009, there are 3 torx screws PLUS a center screw with tension spring that secures it



There are 4 screws that secures the motor to the motor housing. Remove this and set aside. This will expose the upper and lower arms of the mirror. Two additional screws need to be removed before the entire mirror surround can be slid off and pulled apart









Reassembly is the reverse of removal.

Here are the results







Next up is the illuminated door sills. I need to surf the net for instructions

Vince are these made from aluminium or are they just aluminium look?

They are made to look like aluminum but in fact, they are made of plastic. Once I saw them in person , I was like...and they charge me WHAT for plastic? Mark up on these by Porsche are tremendous. But, that's what you get for owning a luxury sports car I guess.
