For the first time in coupe ownership i now have the much talked-about wing mirror spiders haha laugh where do the little buggers come from, i always make an effort to clean within the mirrors but they just re-appear, its like animals love the coupe, my old yellow one was abs covered in flies and this one, just after a wash and wax attracts bird s****, moths, bees....you name it (yes im bored at work) biglaugh

I dismantled my wing mirror to replace the motor - no sign of spiders. Cleaned and replaced mirror - next day spider!!!!
It is just an essential coupe accessory!

I've still got some, however they must be a different species to the Fiat ones as they're smaller and more light-weight wink

One of the wee dafties was trying to spin a web this morning on the way into work - on the motorway...

Which amazingly, worked - until I ruined all his good work by winding the window down and accidentally poked my finger through the web!

I hope it bites you next time laugh

It was an accident, honest! I had to swipe my ID card for the gate at work, completely forgot about the web till I felt the tension of the threads.

Apropos of nothing, the 1958 Vincent Price version of 'the Fly' was on the box yesterday...

Well for those of you feeling left out, with just the one 8-legged accessory, my bloody flat has been chock full of them this summer so I can feel a money-spinning Group Buy coming on... And here's me splatting them with a rolled-up EVO mag!
