Default Cayenne V1 Mirror

Thought you guys might be interested to see this, I just finished integrating the V1 concealed display in to an OEM cayenne mirror for someone.

It's the OEM glass that has been etched to allow the display to shine through, this is the non-dimming mirror which is much easier to work with (and much cheaper to buy).

Well... I've probably destroyed at least a dozen mirrors experimenting, I'm not going to lie, it is a sensitive process that involves multiple steps, some with a laser and some chemical, once that is done the concealed display has to be stripped down and rebuilt.

The display can also be converted to color like the one below, the etch pattern can also be varied depending on what you desire, for example we could have the letters L, Ka, K etc light up instead of a round light.

WOW. I hope you're marketing this, it's too good not to offer it on more than one car.

This isn't for my vehicle, my V1 is on the back window though.

I can make more if you're interested, shoot me a PM.

As things stand the guy I made this for is not responding, as such I consider it available if any of you are really interested we can work out an attractive deal then if he resurfaces I'll have to make him another one.

So, if your interest is serious I'd welcome any PM's and you could have it in your Cayenne by early next week.

Chris.
