Hey Lincoln,

They are extremely rare i think. I've only seen a set on Ebay once ever about a year ago and I think Ryan sold one side on Ebay lately.

Saph and 3 door mirrirs are the same.

Perhaps we should put out a feeler to see if we could do a group buy from a specialist fabricator (such as CarbontecShop or Creative Carbon)

Problem being is that we need an example to copy from!

I can get carbon mirrors for the Escort too, but not for the sapphire. And as I got a sapphire and as they aren't direct swap...

Do you mean these ones, just the same as the touring car ones, but need a backing plate made

could though be used as the mould if wanted in carbon

OK I will contact XSport and a few others.

We want show carbon in 2X2 right?

I thought XSport only did kevlar/carbon?
