i've got a set of these sitting doing nothing if you want them. no mounting brackets sorry, just the mirrors.



And bullet mirrors look nice, but are less than useless. They're just a good excuse to drill holes in your car.

I'm not sure I like any of those Ian

I quite like the Vitaloni mirrors but I'm not sure they'd suit the car..

You get plugs to fit into the recess where the screw goes, I was just getting angles and pitch right before I fitted them.

They are copies of Englemann mirrors, usually found on Opel Mantas from the late 70s to 80s. I got these from eBay for about £24 the pair. They need flatting, etching and painting, but I'm sure you'd sort that no problem.
