yep, the older ones are larger and and bulkier (IMO suit the car better)

the later ones are much smaller.. the earlier ones swivel on the base to fold in, not sure about the later ones...

early ones like my old one,,,


later ones...

Yes, big turbo have big flappy ones and small turbo's have small mirrors (although some late big turbo's had small mirrors and some early small turbo's had big ones)

As in your sig you have big old ones and in mine my car has the small ones

I think the small mirrors blend in with the lines of the car. The big mirrors just look like been slapped on from any old car.

Just changed mine to small turbo mirrors last month. No pics of it yet tho.

Suits the car so much better.

The big ones look terrible IMO
