-
yeah thats right looks alot different now have a look at my before and after i done this week in mk3 section :smiley: well if your interested in the one blank for now as i dont see them pop up much anywhere let me know and name a price :wink:
-
A lot of people make their own.
Also you need 1 door mirror to stay legal.

why would you want one for both sides? drivers side has to have a mirror ITS THE LAW i think :grin:

yeah i am not losing my mirrors but i have a plan i want to try out.
i want to get 2 blanks and put stainless steel small bullt wing mirrors on them.
thought about using a base plate a fillering it but i need to bolt through it.
always wanted to see if it looked good coz in my head it does and now i have just a black car with chrome clear lights all round a big polished ss exhaust sticking out and polished rims i think it will work.
just have to try it to see for myslef. may look crap but gota try it.

so i take it they are rare things to come buy?
hhhmmm i may have to make my own out of base plates then. could just fill the hole with apoxy or something so i can drill and bolt through it.

Correct :afro: one is needed to be legal.
A. Drivers side
B. Rear view
C. Passenger side mirror.
For the MOT you need A & B or A & C.
Most vans don't have a rear view but have both sides. But they NEED both sides. But on a MK3 you could remove the passenger side and be legal but not the drivers. HTH. :smiley:

tell you what can buy mine off me if you want, thats flat rather than curved like dragons....
got mine from america too :)
then dragon can i buy yours off you as i prefer a curved one :D £10 posted?
-
Still don't help me tho as when I make one for drivers side it won't match lol.
-
talk to mugly on ed38, he does them for £90 textured or £140 in carbon fibre, but they are at ed38 scene price lol, try get him down to £60
Other option is to buy 2 mirrors take them to a body shop and and get them to make you some
-
looks bab
leave as OEM :smiley:
-
Mine should work for either side because its flat, would just need to reverse it :)
-
So all I need to do is make a triangle bit to fit out of plastic at work on the plastic cutter? Oh right if a flat bit of plastic works I'll make my own then.
