Ben, Buy them.. I did say to the Mr.Ripley "they have your name all over them"

But he's a bufty Queen at heart and dont want to ruin the Monte's look



So that means one thing, Ben.. they got your name all over them

If i had a white escos they would be mine now. Would look great with the 18" monte wheels and a cage.

A mirror is a mirror, you can see shit with them... Luckily some are slightly less brick sized than others. Dont need to see half the world in a mirror

I think they will look even better with my 19" Cromodoras

And the guy that makes the mirrors is from Poland, very nice to deal with.

If your going to go WRC i think these would look mint on your car mate, being a dark colour with the comps. They would finish it off perfectly in my opinion.

Just look over your shoulder a bit more to compensate, or go faster so no ones ever behind you.

Have ever been in an escos witha WRC rear spoiler? not that i have either but anyway from what i am told you cant see fook all out of your rear view mirror sow ith these aswell i will have no knowlage of what is behind me, who is comming up and where anyone other than people who are in front of me are

I am working on a rear view camera setup and if it works aswell as im hoping then i may still get a set but at this moment in time i will have to settel for a set of ST ones
