Title: DTM Style OR M3 Style Mirrors?
Post by: Cra1g on 16 November 2005, 00:11

Hi guys, I'm currently trying to get my sh*t together with this MK3.

I've purchased several things, like Deep Lip Front spolier but now I cant decide on mirrors!

Thanks for any advice.

Niether, both look wack on mk3's. M3 mirrors belong on M3's and nothing else and DTM's (in my opinion) are done to death. Stick with the stock ones and put the money into something else which will have greater impact on the look of the car, like your wheels or some new headlights.

If any go for m3s, iv got them on my mk3 and they look pretty good but im thinkin of changin them for stock ones to avoid it lookin a little 'chavy'! (or so iv been told!)

Save the money you'd spend on mirrors coz they have been well overdone, and put it into another part of the car like vanish said

think i would stick to the originals too, but if i had to choose would go for 1 DTM on drivers side then blank the other side. (or you could be really different and try one of each, you never know it might catch on!! :grin:)

DTM's are the better of the two but they've been done to death which is a shame. the best ones for a mk3 are projectzwo ( i think) they look almost stock but a bit better!

Soo... it looks like no one likes them, and in my opinion the DTM look only JUST big enough to look relative ona Fiat Chniquecento, so M3 Style it is.  :grin:

Thanks for all your replies.

If ya get M3 mirrors, be careful, they can be ripped off really easily (learnt this to my own expense) cos they are easy to get a grip on, I'd suggest DTMs or Colour coded stock mirrors, or if you want to be really different, how about either fabing your own out of fibreglass or some camera mirrors?

doesnt matter what mirrors you put on it other than stock they will look pants in my opinion as they never fit proper due to the fact they arent genuin like bumpers etc!

Title: Re: DTM Style OR M3 Style Mirrors?

and tha fact that the mirrors are actually rubbish, as in the glass part!  might aswell not bother

^^^A guy from college had this escort with the most over the top body kit in history and has these m3 mirrors on and u couldnt see sh!t out of them!

by the way sorry craig for just slating m3 and dtm mirrors but i would rather have the standard ones, you could get some of a gti thats the same colour if you want them colour coded, that would look better

get some mk3.5 cabby one's.

anything that's not stock is not worth bothering with. might as well get a chavved up bodykit whilst you're on it.

Standard colour coded. Anythin else is veering into corsa/chav territory(M3 especially!!!) :shocked:

out of the two i think dtm ones looks better, used to have them on a mk4 astra and they looked sweet, m3 ones just dont look right to me! the mirrors on the orange cab look good as well!
