Bought these off german ebay on sunday and they arrived today. Im not too sure if they are sitting correctly or if its just because im comparing it to a standard mirror, also not sure wether or not to colour code the base plates or leave them black? c+c welcome

Yeh and they didn't stay on for long - I actually fitted them just for shows 1 year

They don't sit quite the same as proper SRi's do. They look convincing enough to most people, but they were near enough lethal to use on a daily driver!

Yeah they don't sit quite the same as proper SRi's as they stick up like you said. To average Joe they'll probably be close enough though

For example:

yeah on the replica's the glass on the passenger side you can't see anything out, i think they have US glass in them or something

i had the real SRi wing mirrors at one time and sold them on

real ones fitted



then bought the replica mirrors they have blue tinted glass look 99% the same but sit different but hard to tell the difference so i kept them i lived with the glass problem, perhaps a UK M3 wing mirror glass would fit the mirror?



also worth noting these replica mirrors are much more secure, they have lots of screws which is good, far better than the real SRi wing mirrors that can easily be ripped off and sold on ebay one of the main reasons why i sold them
